The company is now searching for leather crafting manufacturing partners who can produce consistent, luxury quality accessories at accessible price points in the form of a manufacturing agreement.

Description

The company was established in the North East of England in 2014 and has grown rapidly. The company initially designed and retailed leather phone cases with an emphasis on premium quality leather, designed with attention to detail and produced at affordable prices for the mainstream market.

The company are now looking to evolve the product catalogue with an innovative manufacturing partner who is willing to develop new styles at small order quantities with a view to establishing the next halo product for the brand. The company currently only use premium quality aniline cowhide leathers but are looking for partners who are willing to experiment with pineapple and coconut fibre textiles in order to launch a fully eco-friendly and sustainable offering to their customers.

The partner will also be asked to make some of the bulk selling products in the current product range and must be able to source the same leathers and produce to the same quality as current partners. The company sell on e-commerce platforms internationally and direct to consumer through their own branded website. The company are seeking a partnership via a manufacturing agreement.
