ABOUT US...
Located at the heart of New York City's garment district, Made in Midtown is one of just a few places in the world and the only place in New York City where shoe design, development, production, digital content and web services, for any size brand, meet under one roof.
Made in Midtown is fluent in all types of design, development, and production and allows designers to visit the factory for follow-ups on sampling and production runs, which is not possible when manufacturing overseas. Over the past 50 years, as fashion production left the USA, the relationship between design and production became distant. Made in Midtown lends its production and shoe expertise to advise designers on creating products in the most cost effective and efficient ways.
Typically, the few remaining footwear manufacturers in the United States focus in on one style, whether it is workwear, athletic or casual. M-I-M is the only factory that develops a full range of styles from A to Z.
THE TEAM
The craftsmen in our factory are all masters in the art of shoemaking, including some that have worked 30+ years making shoes. Since the decline of the fashion production industry throughout North America, qualified shoemakers have flocked to MIM to get reliable work. Thus, we have a congregation of some of the best shoemaking talent in the world.
In addition to our New York City factory, we also have spent many years strategically cultivating relationships with exceptional and trusted factories and suppliers in Italy, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, China, and Taiwan. This is one way we can cover such a wide variety of needs and services.
We visit our overseas factories up to six times a year, as well as our partners frequently visiting us, in order to maintain our supplies, see new and upcoming trends and products that have not yet reached the US market and always be on the same page with our partners.
