About the process

Your enquiry is reviewed against category, construction type, material, and order volume, so the first response addresses the actual product you're building — not a generic catalog.

Typical reply window is one business day (IST), usually starting on WhatsApp before email.

NDA available on request. Your designs, tech packs and commercial details remain your IP at every stage.

Why founders start here

Construction and material options mapped to your target price band.
Feasibility feedback before you commit to a sample round.
MOQ and lead-time expectations shared upfront, not after sampling.
Compliance, labeling, and sizing standards flagged for your target market.
One point of contact from first enquiry through production.
Sample costing and timelines confirmed before development begins.

What helps us reply well

Be specific about your target retail price — it locks the material tier immediately.
Tell us your first production volume, even as a rough range.
Flag your primary selling market so sizing and compliance are right from the start.
Attach any reference image, mood board, or tech pack you already have.
Let us know your launch window so we scope sample rounds accordingly.
One clear sentence about the shoe is worth more than a long brief.
