Custom Sampling
Custom Footwear & Handbags
Our team develops custom shoe samples for the world’s leading footwear brands as well as emerging start ups.
We have a vast array of lasts, heels, outsoles and other components for men’s, women’s and children’s shoes in every category. We are also experienced in the development of a variety of men's and women's bags.
We will work with you to transform your ideas into a tangible sample in the quality that is ready for the runway, trade shows or store shelves.
Manufacturing
Production
We know how difficult it can be to ramp up production, especially when you are a new brand trying to meet hefty minimums. We work tirelessly to match you with the right factory to meet your business objectives, domestically or in Brazil, Italy, Mexico, China and Vietnam. We can oversee your manufacturing from beginning to end, from contract negotiations, sample management and quality control. We take care of it all.

“The team at Shoepreneur helped me turn my shoe invention into a tangible product I could take to investors within a matter of weeks. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“We had our Vegas Platform debut this year and got orders from buyers right away! We couldn’t have done it without the impeccable sales samples the team at Shoepreneur created for us. Thanks so much! Looking forward to production in the Fall.”
“We’ve been working with Shoepreneur for the past year and are truly grateful to have found such great partners. The team took us from a pipe dream to store shelves seamlessly, from developing our first prototype to packaging to sales samples and eventually full production. We are now in stores across the U.S. and couldn’t have done it without Shoepreneur. Thank you.”
