KDUK works with some of the largest retailers and brands in Europe, providing them with a truly bespoke design and sourcing service. We are able to deliver market leading trend and a full design service, this is efficiently supported by our two Chinese R&D development centres. Production is undertaken by our fully audited factories, with whom we are focused on maintaining and delivering the highest level of quality control. We manage this effectively utilising the vast experience of the KDUK China team, ensuring that we have the highest level of ethical and technical control processes in place. We also develop a considerable amount of licenced product and our factory base is fully audited in this specific area. This has enabled us to successfully deliver millions of pairs of shoes to our retail partners with an annual capacity of 10 million pairs. We are also extremely proud to be able to offer sustainable footwear utilising our extensive sourcing capabilities.
