Harrods
Working with a retail icon
Dinks is proud of the long-standing relationship we have built with Harrods, an iconic London landmark and a brand synonymous with luxury and quality. We have helped this world-famous store express these values in its own brand products, including attractive totes, cases, charms and a range of distinctive small metal goods featuring ribbon detailing.
Why Harrods chose Dinks Ltd
“Dinks have worked with us for over 20 years. They have consistently produced a number of high quality classic PVC totes in our signature colours and designs, as well as producing new products and ranges that work with existing ranges to fulfill our motto of ‘Everything, for everybody, everywhere’.” – JP - Buyer for own label goods, Harrods
Macy’s
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.
Bloomingdale's USA
Quality own label goods for a store where style is everything
Bloomingdale’s is a chain of upscale US department stores with a worldwide reputation for quality and style. To enhance the brand across the US, the company wanted to develop its range of private label goods available in its stores.
Our challenge
We were asked to help grow Bloomingdale’s most successful collection by adding innovative, high quality goods to complement the existing range together with stand-alone pieces such as laptop cases and PVC bags.
What we did
With years of experience in the private label market we were perfectly placed to suggest original and exciting ideas to develop the range at competitive prices, while always maintaining the quality expected by Bloomingdale’s customers. The expertise of Dinks in knowing which products to include in this range was a major factor in its success.
Why Bloomingdale’s USA chose Dinks Ltd
“The quality of the products developed by Dinks always exceeds the Bloomingdale’s brand values, which is why we continue to rely on them to expand our current ranges as well as source, design and manage new products. We are consistently satisfied with the quality of work undertaken by Dinks. Their expertise in this field was invaluable and their products offered the right blend of quality and competitiveness expected by Bloomingdale’s customers.” – DW - buyer for Bloomingdale’s USA.
Marc Tetro
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.”
Values and Commitments
Total dedication from design to delivery
Our commitment to every customer is simply to produce the highest quality custom branded products that accurately represent their brand at the most competitive price. Our clients – and, in turn, their customers – have exacting standards, so our quality branded merchandise has to meet their expectations every time. Maintaining these high standards throughout the entire production process is key to our success and that’s why all of our products are subjected to further testing when stored at our warehouses in the UK and US. We keep a close and careful eye on everything at all stages and the quality of our work is reflected in the quality of our customers’ finished products. The secret to our superior sourcing power is in the long-term relationships we have built with our suppliers that are largely based in China, India and Cambodia. We have evolved enormously over 25 years, building a global reputation for producing goods that are high quality as well as being socially and ethically sourced and manufactured.
