New advisory venture aims to help brands and retailers strengthen sourcing strategies and product development decisions
Studio Heritage Living (SHL), a strategic sourcing and product development advisory firm focused on the home textile sector, has officially launched operations.
Founded by industry professional Disha Shah, the firm is designed to support brands and retailers in navigating increasingly complex global sourcing environments through strategic planning and early-stage product development guidance.
With more than two decades of experience across manufacturing ecosystems in China, Turkey, Portugal, Egypt and Bangladesh, Shah brings expertise in product creation, sourcing strategy and supply chain management.
Focus on Early-Stage Decision Making
Studio Heritage Living positions itself as a strategic advisory partner that works with brands and retailers before production begins. The firm supports companies in evaluating product viability, selecting sourcing destinations, aligning vendor partnerships and developing cost structures.
According to the company, the objective is to help businesses build products that balance design requirements with scalability, margin management and long-term sustainability goals.
Addressing Evolving Supply Chain Challenges
The launch comes at a time when global sourcing decisions are increasingly influenced by changing tariffs, shifting country economics and growing supply chain risks.
SHL aims to help organisations develop multi-country sourcing strategies, improve cost transparency and reduce risks associated with downstream execution.
The company offers advisory programmes lasting between six and ten weeks, providing internal teams with strategic recommendations and implementation-ready frameworks.
Founder’s Perspective
Commenting on the launch, Disha Shah, Founder of Studio Heritage Living, said:
“In an increasingly volatile global sourcing environment, the biggest advantage lies in making the right decisions before production begins. Studio Heritage Living is built to bring that strategic clarity, helping brands move from reactive execution to proactive, well-informed sourcing.”
Industry Focus
Through its advisory-led model, Studio Heritage Living seeks to support home textile brands and retailers in making sourcing decisions based on long-term planning and operational requirements.
The firm’s approach focuses on strengthening supply chain resilience, improving sourcing visibility and enabling businesses to adapt to changing global market conditions.
