Rawbought is Q Collection’s Blueprint for Conscious, Small-Batch Production

Over the years, Q Collection has cultivated an expertise in apparel manufacturing that encompasses innovation and sustainability. As we expanded and grew from strength to strength, the accumulated years of experience have also laid the foundations for our first in-house brand.  

Rawbought was founded in 2020 with an eye on creating soft, breathable and intentionally designed pieces made for rest, ease and everything in-between. The brand adopts a single-fabric collection model to ensure consistency in quality, feel and wear across all styles. Instead of implementing the high minimum order quantities that most mass-market brands employ, Rawbought prioritizes tighter design-to-production cycles and sustainability-led decision-making. And in line with Q Collection’s unwavering commitment to quality, months of meticulous fabric R&D goes into every Rawbought piece even before a single silhouette is sketched.  

Serving as a pilot program for conscious, small-batch production, the extension of Rawbought has been beneficial to Q Collection’s overall capabilities. Besides gaining insights into what a values-led, consumer-facing brands needs to thrive, Rawbought’s extensive R&D into lighter, more fluid fabrics have also led to the upskilling of Q Collection’s operators and expanded our overall operational capabilities.  

And with constant collaboration across teams in both Singapore and Bangladesh, an efficient feedback loop has been established to prototype, refine and iterate swiftly – all while reducing overproduction and unnecessary waste. Paving the way for a blueprint that supports emerging brands seeking to scale responsibly.  

The opportunities are plenty when foresight, technology, and sustainability converge. But it is only those with a pioneering spirit and the right infrastructure that can fully seize them. With the success of Rawbought, Q Collection has proven that we are equally adept at spearheading growth with global legacy clients, as we are at supporting brands driven by purpose, creativity and a need for flexibility.
