Platform Buckle Mule Factory — D8R1D

Single-buckle vamp over a deep sidewall for brand collections

Platform Buckle Mule Factory — model D8R1D, developed for footwear brands, wholesalers and importers.

D8R1D brings a rounded closed toe and single vamp buckle above a deep sole sidewall. The women’s mule gains its stronger profile from the base rather than additional upper decoration. Buyers can develop the model as a covered-front counterpart to platform slides in the same collection.

Build a women’s platform-mule direction around a simple upper and a pronounced side silhouette.

Construction review: single-buckle vamp over a deep sidewall

Compare the height of the buckle with the visible sole depth. Approve the toe outline from above and request the required sole dimensions separately; visual thickness does not establish cushioning performance.

Material specification for D8R1D

Upper choices for D8R1D include cow split leather and composite material; select the exact colour SKU when requesting a sample. 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. Specify the required surface treatment; a split-leather grade does not itself establish a suede finish.

Colours and variant specifications

D8R1D is listed in Apricot Beige, Grey, Yellow, Camel, Off-White, Brown, Coffee Brown, White, Pink, Light Brown, Light Coffee 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.

Extended sizes are custom development options, not existing stock; tooling cost and development timing are quoted separately.

Private-label development for D8R1D

This platform mule gives a brand several visual decisions to coordinate: the upper surface, buckle finish and the exposed sole sidewall. Shark Imperator can review them together during OEM or ODM development rather than treating the buckle as a separate accessory choice. Share your desired logo scale and location with the material brief. Suitable decoration methods, labels and custom boxes can then be evaluated against the selected sample and its overall visual weight.

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.

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 D8R1D project

To develop D8R1D, send the selected colour SKUs, quantities by size, destination market and a marked-up reference showing your proposed changes. Use single-buckle vamp over a deep sidewall 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.
