Manufacturing Inquiry FAQ

Frequently Addressed Inquiries

Commercial policies, batch minimums, and sampling terms for global footwear labels.

01 • Minimum Order Quantity

What are your MOQ tolerances?

Our minimum production run begins at 25 pairs per style across standard European or UK size curves (UK 6 to 12). Single bespoke prototyping batches (1-5 pairs) are billed separately under preliminary R&D contracts.

02 • Lead Times

What is the delivery turnaround?

Initial master prototyping takes 3–4 weeks. Once sample fit and leather selection are certified by your team, bulk serial production typically takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on batch size and tannery lead times.

03 • Leather Sourcing

Can we specify proprietary hides?

Yes. We directly import audited European, American, and Japanese crusts, calfskins, and suedes, or we can cut from client-supplied hides delivered to our bonded export warehouse in Lahore.
