Custom Flats Design for Brands
Custom Flats Design for Private Label Women's Footwear Brands
Develop custom flats for private-label women's collections — ballet flats, pointed and almond flats, loafers, mules and slip-on styles — built around your brand direction, materials and target market.
What We Do
Custom flats, developed around your brand.
Lajwanti Designers develops custom flats for private-label women's footwear collections — ballet flats, pointed and almond-toe flats, loafers, mules and slip-on styles — built around your brand's customer, market and price point. Every design starts from your references or brief, moves through the design stage as a written specification, then into a paid sample for review and approval before production planning.
We work with fashion labels, boutique retailers and private-label buyers who need a coordinated flats range — from everyday essentials through to seasonal fashion pieces.

Style Variations
Flats styles we develop.
Every flats category can be developed as a single style or as part of a coordinated collection.
Ballet Flats
Soft, rounded-toe flats with a low-cut vamp. Classic in leather, suede or patent, with bow, strap or plain finishes for everyday and fashion lines.
Pointed & Almond
Sharp or softly tapered silhouettes that elongate the foot. Popular across fashion-forward and office-wear ranges.
Loafers & Slip-ons
Structured slip-on styles with moccasin, penny or tassel detailing. Good for premium casual and transitional collections.
Mules & Backless
Open-back flats and mules with a low profile. On-trend for resort, summer and seasonal capsule ranges.
