For start-ups, a brand presentation and business plan are vital for us to learn more about your company, product ideas, target market and budgets. The first step is to book a 1-hour session with our expert, so we can look into the details of your project, provide feedback and advise the best way to proceed.

The ISM Design Team provides style interpretations and design proposals based on your ideas, moodboards, objectives and target market, before coming up with design tech packs ready for prototyping.

This phase can be omitted if you are a designer, or already have an in-house design team who can provide professional sketches and detailed tech packs (including materials, shoe components, measurements etc.).

Prototyping is an indispensable step for final production. The process includes material sourcing, shoe last development, heel and sole making, creation of custom moulds for hardware and rubber soles, paper pattern making, embellishments and embroidery creation, 3D relief logos etc.

Samples produced can also be used to show buyers at trade shows and runways, or direct to consumers on your sales channels for pre-order.

Our manufacturing infrastructure consists of various specialized facilities for different demands and covers extensive product categories from exquisite runway styles to casual shoes and sneakers for men and women.

Custom packaging is also offered to complete your collection.

ISM takes care of shipment packaging ready for international freight, and assistance on documentation that may be required for Customs clearance process. Shipping destinations cover major locations worldwide. Logistics insurance is also offered as an option.
