Custom Smile-Detail Sandals — 8SS01

Smile-shaped side accent and rear strap for brand collections

Custom Smile-Detail Sandals — model 8SS01, developed for footwear brands, wholesalers and importers.

8SS01 introduces a smile-shaped side detail into a broad-strap men’s sandal. The rear strap and overlapping front panels provide a recognisable base, while the small graphic element changes the collection mood. Buyers can use that accent to develop a playful capsule without covering the upper with a large all-over design.

Develop an original brand-owned motif in the same visual area, with artwork and application reviewed on a sample.

Construction review: smile-shaped side accent and rear strap

Treat the side motif as a placement reference. Approve its distance from the strap edge and check that it remains visible when the front panels overlap. The rear strap should carry the same finishing direction as the forefoot so that the decorative accent does not make the rest of the upper feel unrelated.

Material specification for 8SS01

8SS01 is specified with a cow split leather upper. The exposed strap areas make surface and edge finish important approval points. Compare the material where it bends, overlaps or meets hardware, then retain the chosen finished panel with the colour reference. Any proposed material change should be checked on the strap layout rather than accepted from a small swatch alone. Outsole specification: rubber. Specify the required surface treatment; a split-leather grade does not itself establish a suede finish.

Colours and variant specifications

8SS01 is listed in Apricot Beige, Grey, Yellow, Light Apricot Beige. 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.
