OUR
STORY
Make with Us
We put people first. Founded and led by fashion development veteran Ashley Moore, KAB is a private label apparel and accessories sourcing agency.Â
The
Agency
KAB is a vehicle for its clients. We efficiently move product from concept to production; offering designers a unique support system rooted in patience and collaboration.
We were founded in 2021 by Ashley Moore to combat the detached and transactional culture plaguing the retail supply chain. Specializing in OEM development and production, our team consists of highly skilled and seasoned industry talent. Our integrated approach to collaborating with artisans, vendors, and manufacturers has reinforced our position as a leader in the sourcing space.
An Ode
to Process
Trust it
When it doubt, throw it out
Go with your gut
It is right to give thanks to the fashion gods
Never compromise quality for cost
Believe in what you’re doing or do something else
Proactive not reactive
Take a beat
Honesty is the only policy
About
Ashley
Ashley Moore is a seventeen year veteran of the fashion industry. She is a process nerd who has successfully led multidisciplinary teams in product development and production across numerous brands. Prior to the launch of KAB, Ashley was the Head of Product Development for Marchesa Notte and previously worked in house for brands like Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Elie Tahari.

Sustainability
We believe shifting to more sustainable practices in product development is an imperative initiative. Sustainability is a foundational component of good design and efficient production; at this point in our globalized economy we have a personal and social responsibility to do things differently. The only way forward is by rethinking design systems for the future of the planet and our industry; there is no linear order to how we need to implement it. The KAB agency has risen to the occasion and seeks to help brands build upon on this initiative without compromising design integrity.
