About Us

AltSketch Apparel is a design-driven fashion and lifestyle label powered by NYCD Industrial Design Agency, one of China’s leading creative forces in product innovation.

Rooted in the belief that great design should be both expressive and enduring, AltSketch brings together a curated collective of independent Chinese designers — from industrial product specialists to emerging fashion talents — to create apparel and accessories with a bold yet refined edge.

Every piece we release begins with thoughtful design: from garment silhouettes and material choices to the tactile beauty of buttons, buckles, and packaging. Our approach blurs the line between fashion, utility, and industrial craftsmanship — delivering collections that feel as considered as a well-designed object.

Inspired by the clean sensibility of Scandinavian design and the raw energy of urban culture, AltSketch represents a new generation of global design voices coming from China.

Our Vision

To build a platform that celebrates Chinese design excellence across disciplines — and to make everyday fashion feel as intentional and elevated as great product design.
