I need an exclusive model on demand: can you produce it?

Yes, we can. There are a variety of ways to create a bespoke project. We can produce a patented mould, preparing an invoice for the expenses, and then carry out production according to your requirements. Or we can explore the possibility of undertaking the project via a commercial partnership. If you have a project to submit for consideration, we would be pleased to evaluate it and to discuss with you a range of possible solutions adapted to your needs.

I have a retail shop. Where can I find a local representative of your company?

Please contact us through the "Contact" link above or on the right, detailing where you are located and what are you interested in. Though we have several agents and distributors worldwide, we are not everywhere. In such a case we can sell wholesale directly to your retail shop. Our minimum quantities are really reasonable and you can purchase at better prices when sourcing directly from the manufacturer!

Are your prices negotiable?

Our prices are already the best ones we can offers to first-time buyers and to small-medium orders. We try our best to be as competitive as possible, without sacrificing quality or service. Anyway, large orders or orders related to multiple quantities of the same article can be open to some sort of negotiation.
