DESIGN

The first step in the product design process is idea creation, where new concepts are developed for the creation a product. The research and development team then has the responsibility of determining whether there is product feasibility, meaning determining whether that product can actually be manufactured.
Our team of in-house product developers are leading experts in fine leather goods. Our approach begins with research – we will conduct a deep dive of goals and objectives, who will use the product, and who makes the purchasing decision. We will leverage our industry experience and create a product that fits your brand and customer.
We enjoy working with creative directors, product managers, design directors, and buyers to bring your idea, sketch, or tech-pack to life. We will talk through your design and discuss material options, lead times, and pricing.
From there, we will go through a couple of rounds of sampling until the products fit your needs and specifications. When your prototype is exactly what you want, and there were no hiccups during the original testing stage, you can finally begin to manufacture your product

Sourcing is about finding the balance between the quality of raw materials and the affordability. The less you can spend on materials, the more profit your business can earn. But, if you are too cheap and buy shoddy materials, your resulting product is of lesser quality.
Sourcing is a balancing act. It is the process of requesting quotes for new products, obtaining vendor information and uploading into your procurement software, determining the lead time, pricing, minimum order quantities, and so on

Our team has an intimate knowledge of how upstream items are made, and has relationships to solve problems, innovate, and create a sustainable supply chain.
We believe in going directly to the source, even on the smallest of inputs. We work directly with tanneries, weavers, knitters, and packaging manufacturers to develop the exact item that we need in order to create the final product. We have meaningful relationships with material suppliers and spend a considerable amount of time in the trenches with them to innovate and problem solve.
