Smooth Leather Mule Supplier — 8RQ01

Smooth leather vamp and side buckle for brand collections

Smooth Leather Mule Supplier — model 8RQ01, developed for footwear brands, wholesalers and importers.

8RQ01 uses top-grain cow leather across a covered, rounded forefoot, with a side buckle introducing the only prominent hardware detail. The open heel keeps the profile recognisably a mule. It gives men’s buyers a material-led alternative when a collection already contains more heavily trimmed footwear.

Build a concise leather mule selection around finish, buckle tone and the amount of forefoot coverage.

Construction review: smooth leather vamp and side buckle

The smooth-looking vamp makes changes in colour and finish especially visible. Review the curvature around the toe, the placement of the side strap and the transition into the open heel as a continuous outline. Sample comparisons should keep the same camera angle so that surface and proportion are not confused.

Material specification for 8RQ01

8RQ01 is specified with a top-grain cow leather upper. The covered forefoot provides a clear area for comparing the selected surface finish. Review its appearance around the toe and opening edge on a complete sample, including any adjacent trim. Keep the approved material reference with that sample so the ordered upper is defined by finish and construction as well as its colour name. Outsole specification: rubber.

Colours and variant specifications

8RQ01 is listed in Brown. Choose the colour SKUs for your sample request and keep each material specification attached to its own code. Physical swatches and the approved sample establish the final colour reference.

EU / US sizing and custom development

Size reference: BGL8RQ01DS1BT5

US sizes are approximate; confirm fit with samples.

Need EU 45, 46, 47 or another size outside the listed range? Shark Imperator supports custom size development, including new lasts and outsole moulds where required. We can adjust last shape, width, instep volume and toe allowance to your target market’s fit requirements. Send your size chart, foot measurements or reference last for assessment. Extended sizes are custom development options, not existing stock; tooling cost and development timing are quoted separately.

Private-label development for 8RQ01

For this broad-vamp mule, logo size and placement should respect the clean front surface. We can discuss an understated branding treatment and coordinate buckle colour with the chosen upper, then review the proposed presentation through sampling and a matching packaging brief.

Shark Imperator works with footwear brands, wholesalers and importers on OEM, ODM and private-label projects. Send your technical drawing or marked-up reference with the changes you want to this model. Logo method and placement, hardware, material substitutions and packaging are reviewed against the selected construction before the sample specification is agreed.

Sample review for 8RQ01

For the development sample, review rounded covered toe, side buckle and open heel as a complete construction. Mark the points to retain and the points to change on the 8RQ01 reference image. This keeps the sample team working from the same version of the design and lets your buyers compare the revision against a defined brief rather than an unrelated catalogue sample.

Order planning and production terms

Confirm the agreed specification and schedule with your quotation. Delivery terms, freight, packaging requirements and any buyer-requested inspection or testing should be stated in the enquiry. Production timing does not include international transit.

Discuss your 8RQ01 project

To develop 8RQ01, send the selected colour SKUs, quantities by size, destination market and a marked-up reference showing your proposed changes. Use smooth leather vamp and side buckle as the design reference when describing the revision. Include logo artwork and packaging references where available. Our team can review the brief, arrange sample development and prepare an OEM/ODM quotation.
