Face masks. Love them or hate them, they are now part of our lives.
We recognise the importance they can play in the reduction of transmission of illness. Helping to protect ourselves, our families and the wider community.
In 2020 we embarked on a program to make face masks which comply with WHO and DHHS standards. We developed them inhouse. We made them inhouse. We tried to make them bright and cheery, where we could. But we also made some basic block colours as well.
We took them off our website, but given the current circumstances and because you asked for them. So here they are again – https://sampleroom.zohocommerce.com/

Testimonials
I had worked for YEARS trying to get my fashion label off the ground and it wasn't until I found Julia and her amazing, talented team at Sample Room, that I was finally able to realise my dream.
Finding a pattern maker willing to work with a fashion start up is incredibly difficult and I knew about the Mentor ship program for a whole year before finally committing to it. I know it may seem like a lot of money (and it really isn't, now that I look back on it) but it is worth every single cent.

Joining the Sample Room mentor program not only provided me with the mentorship that I needed to get my brand off the ground and launch my first range, it provided me with a sense of community and a fashion family that you don’t get when working on your own. The monthly calls are full of so much information and are a great way to network with likeminded people who are at the same stage of the journey.
The whole Sample Room team have been invaluable with their knowledge and support and sharing of information. I am very excited to work together on future ranges.

Sampleroom assisted me in overcoming multiple manufacturing issues. As my production is overseas and in multiple factories I required a tightening up of the procedures and pattern control. This was achieved by digitising my patterns making alterations to the original fit based on the information from Sampleroom. The resulting products are really good, and fit well. It has resulted in more orders and good feedback from my customers. Thanks to Julia and her team.

I've been working with Sample Room for two years now and they have really helped me bring my fashion business dream to life. I had been wanting to start a sustainable underwear line for a while but I was feeling intimidated not being familiar with the industry. The mentoring course was exactly what I needed to build my confidence and understand the steps to take while also receiving the expert advice of Julia and her team on my specific business idea. I was interstate and this did not cause any issues in the development process with online fittings and clear communication on what I needed to do, it was so easy.

I had a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve with my mix and match bikini label…I had no idea where to start. Without Sample Room and the assistance of Julia and Kate, I would not have gotten as far as I have. What I was impressed with (with Sample Room) was having the course in place to help manage your expectations from the start. I have been so grateful that Sample Room have been there every step of the way and have held my hand throughout the process. Manage your expectations is my tip going into this, it's not easy or cheap starting your own label, but without Sample Room I would have spent more time and money trying to work it out.

If you're looking to start a fashion label but you're overwhelmed by what's involved Sample Room will walk you through the process step-by-step, holding your hand the entire way. I had a dream to start a children's swimwear label but with a background in PR I was drowning in an industry I knew very little about (and making plenty of costly mistakes along the way).
The support/guidance/advice I received was priceless.

The biggest thing that I have learnt is that there is just so much involved in starting a fashion label, and that’s where Sample Room has been invaluable. They make sure that nothing is forgotten and walk you through each step of the process. There is definitely no way that I would have been able to develop a range and launch without the support and guidance from Sample Room.
