Collaborations

Mansur Gavriel, By Far…

For over 45 years, we have been crafting high-end footwear for designers and contemporary fashion brands around the world.

 

Each collaboration is driven by the same ambition: to create exclusive styles that reflect your brand’s identity — with a high level of customisation, impeccable quality, and agile, reliable production.

 

At VISE, we favour a co-development approach. With no pre-existing collections, every project is developed from scratch, in close collaboration with our clients. We craft nearly 300 new styles each year — primarily for women, but also for men.

 

Clients are involved throughout the process, with regular check-ins and working sessions. We also welcome you on-site: an opportunity to meet our teams, visit the manufacture, and follow each step of the production process.

  • Every project is managed by a dedicated point of contact, with all communication handled in English by our experienced sales team.

  • Between 4 and 8 weeks after prototype approval, depending on the complexity of the model. We guarantee responsiveness for capsule collections and limited editions.

  • We work primarily with premium leathers sourced from Portuguese and European tanneries, as well as with innovative and eco-conscious materials. Each material selected by you is carefully assessed to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of your collection.

  • Quality checks are carried out at every stage of production. Specific testing (comfort, durability, resistance) available upon request, in collaboration with CTCP — the leading Portuguese footwear technology centre.

  • Repairs or adjustments are available in the event of a defect identified after delivery.
