Community Brand Project

Hi you all.
I´m new here and have a question. I´m in the EU textile industry since more than 15 years focusing on fair and sustainable clothing. I have now started a project in Germany, a truely 100% community driven brand. Idea:
- I have the network to fabric suppliers, accessories and manufacturing sites in the EU.
- the community fully decides: first, what kind of product they want to make, let´s take a t-shirt to start with. then they decide if it´s either made of organic cotton, wood based fabric, etc. they decide the base color and the design. All in different decision rounds obviously of 1-2 weeks for example. Finally the product is designed and then there´s a minimum threshold for production (depending on product) in this case 100 pcs. Now comes the part where also non-community people can place an order and when threshold is reached within certain timeframe, again maybe 1-2 weeks, the production is started and only the pre-ordered amount will be produced.
No stock, no sale, no waste.
Further 10% of the earnings will go into social / environmental projects which also are suggested and selected by the community.

Would you be interested in such a concept of clothing brand inclusion?
Thanks for your honest feedback.
Best,
ELCC
