Manufacturing

The footwear journey.

A narrative of how a pair moves from material to export — not a claim that every step is performed in-house.

  1. 01

    Raw material

    Leather — cow, sheep and goat, across finishes — sits at the start of the footwear journey.

  2. 02

    Components

    Lasts, soles, laces, thread, packaging and related inputs support how a pair is made and presented.

  3. 03

    Design

    Footwear begins in the integrated designing studio, using designing and fabricating tools to establish form and intent.

  4. 04

    Upper

    The upper division prepares and stitches leather uppers at production scale, with attention to precision and symmetry.

  5. 05

    Assembly

    The shoe division brings construction together — lasting, bottoming and the structural work that makes a pair.

  6. 06

    Finishing

    Designing, making and finishing are guided by research outcomes, so the last hand on the shoe is as considered as the first.

  7. 07

    Quality

    Accuracy, construction, embellishments, colourfastness and other quality aspects are checked before a pair is released.

  8. 08

    Packaging

    Shoe boxes and cartons present and protect finished footwear for shipment.

  9. 09

    Export

    Finished footwear is prepared for buyers across the markets listed in the company profile.
