Description
Custom designer block heel sandals from Lajwanti Collections give footwear brands, boutiques, retailers, wholesalers and importers a ready base design that can be developed into a private-label or OEM sandal collection. Materials, colours, straps, heel height and branding are adapted to your specification, with a paid sample produced before any bulk order.
Custom Designer Block Heel Sandals for Footwear Brands and Wholesale Buyers
This block heel sandal is built for buyers who need a dependable, comfortable silhouette that can be adapted to a brand’s own look rather than sold as-is. The wide, stable block heel gives the sandal all-day wearability, which makes it a practical starting point for occasion ranges, bridal-adjacent collections, resort and daywear lines, or general seasonal restocks. Footwear brands use it to extend an existing line without designing a heel construction from scratch; boutiques and retailers use it to source a private-label style under their own name; wholesalers and importers use it as a reliable, repeatable design for recurring bulk orders. Because it starts from a proven block heel base, feasibility review and sampling tend to move faster than a fully new construction — though every project is still confirmed individually. This design also sits within our broader block heel collection, so if a different heel height, closure style or occasion category fits your range better, that page is the right place to browse the full range of styles.
Design, Materials and Customisation Options
The base silhouette can be adjusted across several decision points, with final options confirmed once your specification and reference images are reviewed:
- Upper and strap style — available directions may include strappy, ankle-strap, slide, or single-band configurations, subject to technical feasibility
- Heel height and base — the block heel height can be adjusted within a workable range for the construction; exact heights are confirmed during development
- Materials — available options may include genuine leather, PU and other synthetic uppers, suede, satin, or woven fabrics, with material availability confirmed during quotation
- Finish and embellishment — options such as decorative hardware, stitched detailing, or trim may be discussed where compatible with the base design
- Colours — colourways are developed against your reference or Pantone/colour card where supplied
- Sole — rubber or synthetic sole options are discussed and confirmed against the approved sample
- Sizing — standard women’s size runs are built to your specified size system and range
Buyer Decisions to Confirm
Before a quotation can be finalised, buyers are generally asked to confirm: preferred upper material and finish, strap or closure style, target heel height, size range and size system, colour count per design, branding or labelling requirements, packaging preference, target order quantity, and destination country. These decisions materially affect feasibility, sample cost, sample timing and the final quotation.
Private-Label, OEM and ODM Manufacturing
Three routes are available for this design, and it is worth being clear about the difference between them. Under catalogue customisation (ODM), this existing block heel sandal direction is adapted — materials, colours and finish are changed to fit your range while the base construction stays close to the original. Under private label, the same development process is used, but the finished sandal is produced for sale under your own brand name, with your labelling and packaging applied. Under OEM, production instead follows a reference, tech pack, sample or measurement chart that you supply, so the starting point is your specification rather than this catalogue design.
Branding options that may be discussed include insole branding, outsole branding, heel-stamp branding, and decorative hardware carrying your logo, along with hangtags, branded boxes, dust bags, tissue paper, and barcode labels. Exact placement, materials and minimums for branded packaging are confirmed once the order specification is reviewed.
MOQ, Paid Samples and Bulk Production
For this women’s footwear design, the confirmed minimum order quantity is 12 pairs per design, per colour. Paid sample development typically takes 10–14 days once the design and specifications are confirmed, and bulk production typically takes 4–6 weeks after sample approval. These are typical figures — complex construction, specialist materials, revision rounds, order quantity, material availability and current production scheduling can all affect the confirmed timeline for your specific order.
The order process follows five stages:
- Share your brief — send the reference design, quantity, sizes, materials, colours, branding and packaging requirements, and destination.
- Feasibility and quotation — Lajwanti Collections reviews your requirements and confirms quotation-specific scope, pricing and MOQ.
- Paid sample development — a sample or agreed prototype is produced against your confirmed specification.
- Sample and specification approval — you review the sample and approve it along with the written production specification.
- Bulk production, checks, packing and shipping — production proceeds against the approved sample and specification, with applicable checks throughout, followed by packing and worldwide shipping.
Samples are paid, not free; scope, cost, revisions and timing are confirmed during quotation.
Quality Control Against the Approved Sample
Production is checked against the sample and specification you approved, rather than against a generic quality standard. Relevant checks may include material and shade matching against the approved sample, sizing and fit consistency across the run, stitching, sole attachment and strap or closure assembly, logo and branding placement, and pair matching before packing. Applicable checks are carried out against the approved sample, artwork and written specification for your order.
Product Care and Handling
Care recommendations depend on the final upper material, sole and finish selected for your order, so specific instructions are confirmed once these are set. In general, block heel sandals in leather or suede uppers benefit from being kept away from prolonged moisture and stored in a dust bag between uses, while synthetic uppers are typically easier to wipe clean. Buyers reselling this style may want to request care-instruction labelling as part of the packaging discussion.
