CREATIVE BRIEFING

Every brand has its own unique character, so it’s important for us to understand your brand’s identity and long-term strategy.

Our flexibility allows us to adapt to your specific needs. Whether you prefer a classic design or a more futuristic style, we are committed to creating a product that reflects your vision.

DESIGN

Once we have your original and creative concept, we turn it into reality, whether it is a professional sketch or a 3D rendering solution. Our team of shoe designers, modellers and technicians ensure that the best shoe construction techniques are applied to achieve the perfect fit and your style requirements.

RAW MATERIAL SOURCING AND SELECTION

Leather, linings, soles, insoles, accessories… there are countless materials that can be incorporated into your shoe, with different types of colours and textures. That is why we work with the most versatile suppliers and partners in the world to ensure that all materials have a smooth touch, great comfort and stunning look.

PROTOTYPE AND SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT

This is the phase that precedes a production order. It is when the design comes off the page and becomes a tangible product that can be produced in larger quantities. Samples are most often used to show retailers at trade shows, on social media or websites, or to pre-order directly from consumers.

MANUFACTURING

Sourcing and Development stages are followed by Production, which involves:

• Cutting
• Stitching
• Assembly
• Finishing

QUALITY CONTROL

To avoid errors, ensure the quality of the final product and keep everything on schedule, we closely monitor the entire Footwear Manufacturing Process from start to finish.

In order to comply with a strict standard of safety and high quality, we carry out the following tests: slip resistance test, sole bonding test, humidity content monitoring, symmetry check, size fitting test, measurements check, rub test, barcode scanning and weight check.

PACKAGING

Once all the details have been checked, we make sure that all the shoes are correctly labelled and placed in the boxes. This ensures the shape, colour and appearance of the shoes as they are transported from the factory to the store and from the store to the customer’s home.

SHIPPING

In the warehouse, the boxes are packed into cartons. They are then ready to be shipped around the world.

In order to meet your delivery deadlines, we offer various freight options.
