A model that works for the school
We supply at a fixed price for the academic year. The school, or its appointed outlet, sells at the MRP printed on each garment and keeps the difference as its margin — agreed upfront and unchanged mid-year.
- MRP printed on every garment: parents see a fair, transparent price
- Packed by class and size, so stock reaches the right counter
- Top-ups through the year for new admissions and growth spurts
- Optional online size ordering for parents
