About Carmina Design Co.
Empowering Fashion Brands to Launch Sustainably
At Carmina Design Co., we’re proud to work alongside brand owners who are reshaping fashion through creativity, sustainability, and courage. Many of the designers and entrepreneurs we support come to us with only an idea—and leave with a product they’re proud to share with the world.
We guide them through every stage of their journey, from concept development to manufacturing, with education, transparency, and patience. Their success stories are proof that when small brands are empowered with knowledge and expert support, they can grow confidently and create a meaningful impact.
Our Story
Driven by Purpose, Powered by Innovation
Founded in 2015 by designer Carmina Young, what began as a personal mission to produce her own clothing line has evolved into a full-service fashion manufacturing company. Today, Carmina Design Co. is proudly a woman- and Latina-owned company, rooted in the belief that ethical fashion should be the standard, not the exception.
We are reshaping the fashion industry one collection at a time. Every brand we support becomes part of a larger movement to create with integrity, minimize waste, and put people first — from the sewers and pattern makers to the end customer.
Our values
Transparency
We believe in open communication, honest pricing, and making our processes clear to all clients — no gatekeeping, no guesswork.
Innovation & R&D
We invest in research, development, and ongoing training. Our team uses modern techniques to ensure your garments are competitive, consistent, and production-ready.
Sustainability
We implement zero-waste practices wherever possible. From thoughtful fabric usage to reducing overproduction, we help you launch your line responsibly.
Community & Team Culture
We cultivate a workplace that values diversity, inclusion, and professional growth — because better garments start with a better team.
Trust
We earn your trust every day by showing up, staying responsive, and delivering on our promises.
