SOURCING · QC · COMPLIANCE — MADE IN INDIA

Footwear sourcing that clears customs,
not just samples.

We match Indian footwear brands with vetted manufacturers, run inline quality checks, and keep every order aligned to BIS's Quality Control Orders — from brief to bulk delivery, for orders of 5,000 pairs and up.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Built for brands scaling past the sample stage.

01

D2C & emerging labels

Footwear brands who've proven demand online and need a reliable production partner to move from small-batch to repeatable bulk runs — without learning vendor management the hard way.

02

Artisan & ethnic footwear

Brands built on craft — juttis, kolhapuris, mojaris and beyond — who need production partners that respect the construction while still hitting factory-scale consistency and QC.

03

Regional brands & cluster exporters

Established regional labels and manufacturer-exporters who need overflow capacity, a second vendor relationship, or hands-on compliance support during a growth push.

THE PROCESS

Six steps. One point of accountability.

  1. 01

    Brief & MOQ plan

    We scope your styles, materials, target price point, and volume — and confirm what's realistic at a 5,000-pair minimum.

  2. 02

    Vendor matching

    We pull from our vetted bench across India's footwear clusters, matched to your category — leather, rubber/polymeric, or artisan construction.

  3. 03

    Costing & sample development

    Transparent landed-cost breakdown alongside physical samples, so pricing decisions happen before bulk commitment, not after.

  4. 04

    BIS / QC compliance check

    Every applicable style is checked against the relevant Quality Control Order and Indian Standard before production starts, not discovered at customs.

  5. 05

    Bulk production, inline QC

    We run quality checks during production — not just a final inspection — so problems get caught while they're still cheap to fix.

  6. 06

    Logistics & delivery

    Coordinated dispatch to your warehouse or export point, with documentation handled alongside the shipment.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Sourcing under BIS isn't a footnote.
It's the order.

Since 2023, footwear sold in India has come under mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards certification. Getting this wrong doesn't just risk a compliance letter — it can mean stock stuck at a port. Here's what's actually in force, current as of our last review.

Coverage 3 Quality Control Orders, 27 footwear categories — leather, rubber, and polymeric materials and components
MSME status Micro & Small enterprises are currently exempt from the leather and rubber/polymeric QCOs — relevant to most brands our size
Legacy stock Clearance deadline extended to 31 July 2027 for stock made before the QCOs took effect
R&D samples Up to 4,500 pairs/year importable for non-commercial R&D use, marked "NOT FOR SALE"
GST 5% up to ₹2,500/pair, 18% above — factor this into price-point decisions early
Exports RoDTEP duty remission is live but on a rolling renewal cycle — we track the current window for every export order

General guidance only, reviewed August 2026 — not legal advice. Regulations change; we confirm current requirements per order.

SCALE

Sized for real orders, not sample runs.

5,000+ pairs per order — our floor, not our ceiling
Multi-cluster vendor bench spanning leather, rubber, and artisan construction hubs across India
Inline QC checkpoints through production, not a single inspection at the end
Confirmed lead times and landed costs quoted per order, before you commit
