Dampkring Designs has been a trusted partner in the Vancouver fashion industry since 2003, and we are so happy to celebrate being a women owned small business for over 21 years now!  Our team is dedicated to turning your ideas into garments, whether it's for yourself or your business. With years of experience and a keen eye for detail, we've honed our craft to deliver exceptional pattern-making and pre-production services, along with all the odd jobs & problem solving tasks that are a part of making clothes.

We recently expanded our offerings to include cut-and-sew patterns for everyone from DIY enthusiasts to businesses. Now, you can bring your own designs to life with our easy-to-follow patterns - or use our patterns as blocks to create your own collections.  And if you have a love of fabrics and see inspiration in a beautiful piece of ribbon or interesting elastic, you can probably relate to the collection we have in our overflowing studio... fabric hording is a thing, and we are ready to share.  In a world where it feels like everything that breaks ends up in a landfill I have trouble throwing anything away when I know I can make it into something useful and beautiful again!  

Whether you're a budding designer, DIY dabbler, or an established brand, we're here to help you elevate your fashion game. Let's create something amazing together.
