project assesment and design consulting
DESIGN CONSULTING
We help with design briefing, mood boards, color palettes, material selection, conceptual
sketches and color renderings. Solea will partner with you on designs and technical evaluations focusing on brand integrity, aesthetics, new consumer trends and technologies with the idea of elevating the brand and ensure best positioning in the current landscape.
LAST DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
The last comes first.
It is as critical to the end result as design and materials selection. The last not only gives the shoe its shape but also its fitting qualities. As shoe manufacturers have moved their manufacturing abroad, last modeling has become long and complicated process. Ours clients can benefit from having their lasts developed or
modified from the existing by NY based Solea team that understands their market and the fit they need to achieve.
FIT APPROVALS
We have deep knowledge and experience in last development and fit process and will communicate with the supplier about necessary revisions and approvals with the goal to prevent costly production mistakes. Having timely corrections and approvals can speed product to market drastically shortening development lead times.
