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.”

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.
