Indochino CEO Drew Green’s plan for a global custom apparel brand - - For custom apparel brand Indochino, the preference for proprietary extends beyond its products.
- Earlier this year, custom footwear brand Shoes of Prey liquidated after it ran out of money to keep building the business, and was unable to find a buyer.
- Frankly, if it hits our caps from a customer acquisition standpoint, we simply don’t spend there anymore and turn the dollars to other channels. It’s something that we’re super proud of — when we start to get into one-week delivery, for a custom perfectly fitted garment, that for certain segments like suiting is even further ahead than off-the-rack.
