Just wanted to ask for help if anyone knows a place where I could get my designs prototyped, in or around NYC area (or even outside of NYC, whatever as long as its accessible in the US).
I will thereafter place orders on them ofcourse, but I’m a start-up so I’m wondering if anyone knows a place who’s open to accepting smaller orders to start (like less than 100 pairs), who’ll make the prototype as well (if that makes any sense).
I’m looking to make women’s contemporary shoes, using real leather/suede materials.
You might be able to find some factories on Maker’s Row, it’s an online directory of American Manufacturing Sources, a quick search for “shoes” turned up a couple potential leads
This place in NYC seems to do custom shoes, not sure if they can do a small production run but might be good for a prototype
Thanks! I just saw your article about makersrow… i think its realy interesting and I have contacted T.O. Dey Shoes… i guess i’ll wait and see how it goes, but I’m also hoping I could get some more leads…
