Custom High Heel Design for Brands

Custom High Heels Design for Private Label Women's Footwear Brands

Develop custom high heels for private-label women's collections — stilettos, kitten heels, mid heels, ankle straps and slingbacks — built around your brand direction, materials and target market.

What We Do

Custom heels, developed around your brand.

Lajwanti Designers develops custom high heels for private-label women's footwear collections — stilettos, kitten heels, mid heels, ankle straps and slingbacks — 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, bridal and occasion boutiques, retailers and private-label buyers who need a coordinated high heel range — not one-off styles.

Style Variations

Heel styles we develop.

Every high heel category can be developed as a single style or as part of a coordinated collection.

Stilettos

Classic slim heels from 70mm to 110mm. Pointed, almond, closed or peep-toe — for fashion, evening and occasion ranges.

Kitten Heels

Lower heels (40–55mm) for comfort-focused collections. Popular in bridal, workwear and everyday women's lines.

Mid Heels

Balanced height (55–70mm) between comfort and elevation. Good for seasonal collections that need both.

Ankle Straps

Strapped heels with buckle detail. Adjustable fit, extended size range and a strong statement silhouette.

Buyer FAQ

What brands ask before starting a high heel project.

Yes. High heels are developed with full customisation on heel height, construction, materials, colourways and branding for private-label brands. You can supply your own tech pack or work from our reference silhouettes.
For women's shoes, the usual first order is 120 pairs total, structured as 12 pairs per design, per colour. This lets you spread your order across multiple heel styles and colourways without overcommitting on a first run.
Yes. Heel height, toe shape, strap style, materials, colourways, hardware and branding can all be tailored to your brief, subject to confirmed availability and construction compatibility.
Materials are approved by specification, appearance, construction compatibility, availability and target cost. You receive material direction for sign-off before sampling begins, and the approved material is locked into the production specification.
Yes. Stiletto heels are developed within this same High Heels collection — heel height (typically 8–12cm), toe shape and heel reinforcement are customised to your brief.
Yes. Kitten and mid heel styles, typically 3–6cm, are developed alongside the taller heel range for brands building comfort-led or transitional pieces into a wider footwear collection.
There are four documented gates: brief review, physical sample approval, production sign-off, and pre-shipment QC. Nothing moves to the next stage without your explicit approval.
Share the design reference or tech pack, expected quantity, target market, material and colour preferences, size range, branding and packaging requirements, destination country and target delivery date.
Typical sample development takes 10–14 days, with bulk production around 4–6 weeks after sample approval. Exact timelines are confirmed per project based on quantity, materials and finishing.
