Gowntown

From supplier reliability to product development, we’ve worked with Gowntown for over 7 years to manage their supply chain, verify manufacturers, and streamline their sourcing. See how Epic Sourcing helped them scale fast, stay agile, and serve 20+ Australian universities with quality graduation gear.

Graduate in Style

‍Gowntown is Australia’s go-to for premium graduation gowns, caps, and frames. As a business built on celebrating big milestones, they needed a supply chain just as reliable as their reputation. That’s where Epic Sourcing came in.

Playing the Long Game‍

One of Epic’s earliest clients, Gowntown came to us over 7 years ago looking to streamline their supply chain. They needed reliable delivery timelines, verified suppliers, and rock-solid quality control systems. Since then, we’ve worked side-by-side as sourcing partners, managing orders, developing new products, and keeping their supply chain nimble.

“Epic Sourcing has been an incredibly reliable and professional sourcing manager for many years. Their work has enabled us to gain a considerable competitive edge.” — Edward Keaney, Co-founder at Gowntown
