Fashion Manufacturing & Design Assistant Job at STRAWBERRY PARIS in Los Angeles

Apparel Manufacturing & Design Assistant (Asia-Focused Production) – Strawberry Paris

Luxury Boho Womenswear

Full-Time | Downtown Los Angeles HQ

Strawberry Paris is a Paris-born luxury womenswear brand devoted to unapologetic femininity, romance, and red-carpet-level beauty. Delicate French laces, hand-placed embroidery, fluid silks, and dreamy prints define a signature that has made us the go-to for brides, celebrities, and anyone who wants to feel like the heroine of her own love story.

We launched in 2025 and in less than 6 months we’ve already smashed past $1M in sales . Vogue France called us “the new boho obsession,” Who What Wear declared our strawberry-pink silk dresses “the piece of the season,” and every cool-girl influencer from Paris to Venice Beach is wearing us.

Now we’re scaling fast – and we need a relentless Apparel Manufacturing & Design Assistant (Asia-Focused Production) who moves at warp speed, stays ice-calm under fire, and turns chaos into flawless deliveries. Production is 100% in Asia – expect daily late-night calls, last-minute Paris design changes, containers stuck at port, and zero tolerance for delays or excuses. If you get a rush from owning every style from tech pack to warehouse receipt and genuinely thrive in high-pressure, high-speed environments – this is your arena.

Key Responsibilities

• Own every single style from Paris tech pack to warehouse receipt across multiple Asian factories
• Primary point of contact for factories in China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Indonesia – daily late-night calls are non-negotiable
• Relentlessly chase samples, lab dips, strike-offs, PP samples, and bulk production with zero slippage
• Build and maintain iron-clad relationships with factory owners while pushing them harder and faster
• Plan capacity and secure factory slots 12–18 months ahead in a hyper-competitive landscape
• Execute all fabric, lace, trim, and embellishment purchases – hitting MOQs, negotiating aggressively, never overpaying
• Instantly implement complex, last-minute design changes from Paris without moving a single delivery date
• Negotiate pricing, surcharges, air-freight penalties, and payment terms like margins depend on it (because they do)
• Manage end-to-end logistics: booking vessels, consolidating shipments, clearing customs, optimizing costs, OTIF delivery
• Deliver bullet-proof, real-time production reports and cost updates to Paris creative and US sales teams every Monday – no exceptions
• Cold-outreach daily to new factories; expand our network and replace any partner that can’t keep up

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

• 1–2 years hard-core Asia production experience (luxury or contemporary womenswear; boho/bridal/red-carpet a huge plus)
• Already have direct relationships with factories in India & China (or ready to build them fast)
• Strong knowledge of luxury fabrics, embroidery, beading, lace application, silk dyeing, and couture-level quality standards
• Extreme Excel mastery – complex cost sheets, critical paths, live production trackers updated in real time
• Naturally wired for speed: you think, type, and solve problems faster than anyone
• Zero-complaint, solution-first mindset – you spot problems 10 steps ahead and kill them instantly
• Comfortable (and good at) working extended hours when needed and taking 9 p.m. WeChat calls without flinching
• Fluent in English; Mandarin strongly preferred (not required)

What You Get – A Package Built for Hustlers

• Base salary $27–$33/hour (~$56,160–$68,640/year full-time – strong for production roles in luxury fashion, with fast growth potential)
• GUARANTEED RAISES EVERY 6 MONTHS !: 2% every 6 months (4% yearly) for first 2 years – automatic progression to higher base by year 2
• Monthly PERSONAL GROWTH Bonus: $150–$350 extra every month when you present and execute a clear growth action plan to grow your skills that help the company (stackable!)
• Monthly Einstein Award: $100 cash for standout intelligent growth (yes – earn both monthly bonuses if you're crushing it)
• GUARANTEED ANNUAL BONUS : $1,000 guaranteed → up to $5,000
• Profit-sharing: Up to 15% of net profits distributed annually as extra bonuses to all staff based on performance – the harder we hustle together, the bigger everyone’s share
• GUARANTEED $3,000loyalty bonus at 3-year mark
• Generous clothing allowance (obviously) -- 2 FREE PIECES PER MONTH
• 20 paid days off to start (13 PTO + 7 sick), growing +4 vacation days/year (cap at 25 PTO = up to 32 total days), plus 5 major holidays (separate)
• $150/month health & wellness stipend
• Paid travel to Asia when required, dreamy DTLA showroom vibes, and direct access to leadership

Our Culture – Built for Builders

Small 10-person team, lightning-fast execution, weekly 5-minute power meetings with the CEO, Friday catered lunches + skill shares (with $100 prizes), potlucks ($50 prizes), quarterly Shark Tank pitches ($200 prizes). We reward results, ownership, and hustle – no excuses, just “how do we make it happen?”

This is not a 9-to-5 job. This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to run production for one of the fastest-growing romantic luxury brands in the world – and can prove they were born for the pressure.

If you read this and felt a rush of adrenaline instead of dread – apply immediately.
