OEM leather manufacturing, built to your specification
You own the design; we engineer and make it. Send a tech pack, a sketch or a sample to copy, and we take it through pattern making, material sourcing and prototyping into repeatable production.
For designers and product teams
Design studios with a collection ready to produce. Product companies that need a leather component or case made to spec. Brands moving an existing product to a new manufacturer. You need a partner who follows the specification and asks good questions when it's unclear.
What OEM development covers
Each stage can be taken on its own or as a complete service.
- Working from tech packs, sketches or samples
- Pattern making and grading
- Material and hardware sourcing
- Prototypes and fit samples
- Costing at different specifications
- Production to approved samples
- Repeat production on file
- Collection development over seasons
From specification to repeatable product
Product development is where most of the problems in production are solved. We build the pattern, choose leathers and hardware that meet your price and performance targets, and make prototypes until the sample matches your intent.
Once you approve it, that sample and its specification are locked. Repeat orders are produced against them, and new styles in the collection build on what's already proven. There's no blanket minimum. Some products have a practical minimum because of how they're made (a custom-cast buckle, for example, or printed boxes), and when one applies we tell you before you commit. Tell us the quantity you have in mind, even if it's small, and we'll tell you what's possible.
What to send us
The more you share, the faster the first sample. None of these is required to start.
- Tech pack
- Drawings, measurements, materials and construction details.
- Reference sample
- An existing product to copy or improve, posted to us.
- Sketches and photos
- Rough drawings or photos of products with details you like.
- Target price
- The cost you need to hit, so we can suggest materials and construction to match.
- Quantities and timing
- Expected order sizes and launch dates, so we plan development around them.
- Brand assets
- Logo files and label artwork, if the product carries your brand.
Questions people ask
What's the difference between OEM and private label?
With OEM we manufacture your own design to your specification. With private label we put your brand on a product, which can be your design or one we develop. Many projects are both.
Can you work from a sample I post to you?
Yes. We can copy a sample exactly or use it as a starting point and make the changes you ask for.
Do you sign NDAs?
Ask us. Tell us about your project and we'll discuss protecting your designs before you share them.
Is there a minimum production quantity?
There's no blanket minimum. Some products have a practical minimum because of how they're made (a custom-cast buckle, for example, or printed boxes), and when one applies we tell you before you commit. Tell us the quantity you have in mind, even if it's small, and we'll tell you what's possible.
Can you source specific leathers?
We source leather and hardware to your specification. If you have a particular tannery or finish in mind, include it in your brief.
