Knitwear design and sourcing for global retailers
Cobalt Fashion is a knitwear specialist serving retailers and brands across mass, specialty, and premium segments in the US, Europe, and Asia. The company's tech stack is design-heavy—Photoshop, Illustrator, CAD, and 3D rendering tools dominate—reflecting a production-focused operation where design and trend forecasting drive customer value. Hiring is concentrated in design (14 roles) with smaller sales and product teams, signaling a maker-first organizational structure. Active friction around sales tracking, listing accuracy, and production timelines suggests ongoing operational scaling challenges as they expand retail partnerships.
Cobalt Fashion designs and sources knitwear for a global customer base that includes major US and European retailers. Founded in 2017, the company operates from 11 offices across Hong Kong, New York, Manchester, London, Shanghai, Dhaka, Singapore, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhuhai, and Cambodia, positioning itself as a supply-chain partner with yarn expertise and manufacturing capability. The product work centers on seasonal collections, trend development, and customer-specific specifications—supported by digital design tools and sampling processes. Current projects include seasonal collection development, trend reporting, and optimization work for specific retail accounts, alongside efforts to improve internal sales tracking and production-timeline management.
Design and CAD tools dominate: Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, 3D CAD, Runway, and Canva. Operations tools include Airtable, Miro, Microsoft Office, Teams, and Google Drive.
