Crafting Legacies, One Step at a Time

Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is set at 150 pairs per style, per color. This quantity allows us to achieve production efficiency, secure optimal pricing for high-quality raw materials, and dedicate a specialized production line to your collection. For new and emerging brands, we understand the need for flexibility. We offer special "Startup Packages" with a potentially lower MOQ to help you launch your first collection without a prohibitive initial investment. For highly intricate, bespoke, or artisanal projects requiring unique handwork, we evaluate the MOQ on a case-by-case basis. We strongly encourage you to contact our team with your project's specifics, as we are committed to finding a viable production solution that aligns with both your brand's vision and business goals.

Absolutely. We function as a full-service manufacturing partner, and our pre-production support is a cornerstone of our service. Our process is collaborative and multi-staged. It begins with an in-depth consultation where we help refine your concepts. From there, our technical team can develop detailed tech packs and 2D/3D CAD models. The next crucial step is creating the first prototype, often called a 'fit sample', to perfect the last, construction, and overall fit. After your feedback, we proceed to a 'salesman sample', which is crafted using the final approved materials and colors, ready for your marketing photoshoots or sales meetings. This iterative process with clear feedback loops ensures there are no surprises during bulk production and that the final product is a perfect, tangible representation of your brand's identity.

Our material sourcing capability is a key strength. We pride ourselves on versatility and quality. Our primary expertise lies in leathers, including premium full-grain and top-grain calfskin, luxurious Italian suedes, durable nubuck, and exotic leathers, all sourced from LWG (Leather Working Group) certified tanneries in India and Europe to ensure environmental and ethical standards. For soling, we offer everything from traditional hand-stitched leather soles and natural crepe to high-performance rubber compounds and world-renowned Vibram outsoles for superior grip and longevity. Beyond leather, we work with a wide range of materials like organic canvas, performance textiles, and innovative vegan leathers. Our commitment is to find the perfect material that meets your aesthetic, functional, and price-point requirements.

Our lead times are structured and transparent. The entire process, from order confirmation to shipment, typically ranges from 75 to 110 days. This can be broken down into two main phases. The **Pre-production Phase (3-5 weeks)** includes material procurement, final pattern adjustments, and the creation of a final pre-production sample for your sign-off. The **Bulk Production Phase (8-12 weeks)** commences immediately after your approval. This timeline is influenced by factors such as the complexity of the design (e.g., a Goodyear-welted boot takes significantly longer than a cemented sneaker), the size of the order, and the lead time for any custom-sourced materials. Upon confirming your order, we provide a detailed production calendar (Gantt chart) with key milestones, and our team provides regular updates to ensure you are informed every step of the way.

Yes, we have extensive experience in global logistics and export our footwear to brand partners across the world. Our location in India is a strategic hub for international trade. Our dedicated logistics team handles the entire process seamlessly. This includes preparing all necessary export documentation, such as the Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading/Airway Bill, and Certificate of Origin. We can operate on various Incoterms (like FOB, CIF, DDP) depending on your preference. You are welcome to use your own preferred freight forwarder, or we can leverage our network of trusted logistics partners to provide competitive quotes for both air freight (for speed) and sea freight (for cost-effectiveness), ensuring your collection arrives safely and on schedule at its final destination.

Quality control is not a single step but a philosophy embedded throughout our entire manufacturing process. Our multi-stage Quality Assurance (QA) system is rigorous and uncompromising. It includes: 1) **Raw Material Inspection:** All incoming leathers and components are inspected for defects, and consistency. 2) **In-Line QC:** We have quality checkpoints after critical stages like Cutting, Stitching (Closing), and Lasting to catch any deviations from the standard early on. 3) **Dedicated Assembly QC:** A supervisor on each assembly line monitors the process in real-time. 4) **Final Inspection:** This is the most critical stage. A separate, dedicated final QA team inspects 100% of the finished pairs—not just a random sample. They check each shoe against a comprehensive, multi-point checklist that covers aesthetics, symmetry, construction integrity, finishing, and packaging, adhering to strict AQL (Accepted Quality Limit) standards. This meticulous approach guarantees that the product you receive is the product you approved.

We understand that your designs are your most valuable asset, and we protect your intellectual property with the utmost seriousness. Our commitment to IP protection is both legal and cultural. Legally, we operate under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) policy. We are happy to sign your company's NDA, or we can provide our own comprehensive agreement for your review before any sensitive information is shared. Culturally, we ensure that your designs are treated with confidentiality within our facility. Access to your tech packs, patterns, and custom lasts is restricted to the specific teams and artisans directly involved in your project on a need-to-know basis. We guarantee that your unique designs will never be replicated for any other client, showcased as our own work without explicit permission, or sold to third parties. Your trust is the foundation of our partnership.
