PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Product Designers collect ideas, create seasonal concepts and communicating key trends with our Development Department. Our Developers, together with our Brand Technician analyze the ideas, evaluate prototypes’ characteristics such as styling, performance and aesthetics. Shoe lasts and raw material research are carried out in-house with detailed specification. Those data are stored and maintained in our Enterprise Resource Planning System and through the use of computerized technologies we minimize the distance and make a faster and more accurate preparation for manufacturing.
