Developing an EVA clog range and tooling for a Middle East fashion retail chain

The challenge

A Middle East fashion retail chain wanted to add EVA clogs to their private-label range, to a specific look, material and comfort standard. The challenge: their team had no footwear experience, so they needed a partner who could develop the tooling, hold every detail to an exact brief, and guide them through a product category they did not know.

What we did

• Developed the EVA clog mould and tooling from the client’s design and material brief
• Ran multiple back-and-forth sample rounds to match the target look, material and finish precisely
• Used our footwear expertise to fill the gaps in the client’s (non-footwear) knowledge at every step
• Delivered the first production order on time and to spec

Results

• Matched the client’s exact design and material standard
• Delivered the first order on schedule — the client was very satisfied
• Became their footwear development partner for the category
