Taking art to the retail market

Canadian-born artist, illustrator and designer Marc Tetro is famous for his bold and distinctive graphic style. Dinks has been working with Marc Tetro since 2012, producing superior retail products for the international market. The range features outstanding attention to design and detail on keyrings, charms, PVC totes, pouches and umbrellas made primarily from pongee.

Our challenge

In 2014 Marc Tetro wanted to add value to the biggest-selling product range of boldly coloured tote bags featuring iconic dog designs. The existing supplier couldn’t meet the new demanding specifications, so the challenge for us was to source and deliver new products with a superior level of detailing. This included an internal lining and other small personalised details with debossing on zips and other metal features.

What we did

We developed a number of samples in a variety of finishes with personalised options. The final product was approved and went into production and it continues to be a mainstay of the Marc Tetro product range, available at www.marctetro.com http://marctetro.com/

Why Marc Tetro chose Dinks Ltd

"We continue to work more closely with Dinks because they consistently prove they can source and produce goods from the best factories in the world, to the highest production standards. Alongside totes, Dinks also recommended a range of smaller custom-produced pouches and cosmetic bags in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes. The fact that these recommendations have proved commercially successful is further indication that Dinks was the right choice for Marc Tetro.”

Signature products for a world famous store

Macy's department store is a New York favourite and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the city. Dinks Ltd (USA) has been supplying Macy's with own logo merchandise for many years, consistently delivering high quality products at competitive prices for this global retail brand. One of the key challenges has been to create products that appeal to the store’s broad range of culturally diverse customers while maintaining high standards of corporate image and brand consistency.

Our challenge

Already established as a supplier of bags and accessories, we were asked to help grow the Macy’s iconic red and white range of own products and themed goods – key elements of the company’s brand heritage. All products needed to comply with the strictest social and ethical standards without compromising on quality or impacting on final retail price. Because the Dinks creative team goes to all the major global trade shows as well as the big fashion and social events, they really understand fashions and cultural trends across Europe, Asia and the US. This, along with our unrivalled market knowledge and experience, means we continue to deliver a range of exciting products and ideas that perfectly fit the company’s reputation for quality at prices that appeal to its customers from all over the world.

What we did

Our new product proposals have helped Macy’s to develop a fresh look to its core range of own logo merchandise, enhancing the store’s distinct branding and perfectly reflecting its history and heritage. Because our goods are manufactured to the highest specifications and standards, Macy’s continues to trust Dinks to design and create its most iconic and recognisable products.

Why Macy’s chose Dinks Ltd

“Dinks has been supplying me for many years with a range of products including bags, accessories, keyrings and umbrellas. Their exposure to different global markets helps develop products which will be popular with a very wide-ranging and culturally diverse customer base. They are always open to incorporating my ideas into their product design and custom-making products based on my requirements.” – PL - Buyer for Macy's USA.

We produce branded bags and totes to almost any size, shape and specification using materials including jute, microfiber, UPVC and polyester, cotton and canvas.

Finishing touches that make a difference

We do all sorts of amazing things to give our bags those extra touches that really make them stand out. Finishing techniques include printing, embroidering, embossing or debossing and die-cutting as well as adding crystals, metal plaques and other detailing.
