LONDON
Independent UK design & trend research
Project-based input when a brief calls for additional fashion, jewellery, colour or product-direction research.
Develop / Commercial product engineering
FROM BRIEF
TO APPROVED SAMPLE.
Design, target FOB, material, construction and volume belong in the same conversation — from the start.
“Commercial product development starts before the sample.”
A strong visual idea needs a workable route to retail. We connect design judgement to the detail of components, making, quality and delivery.

WE TRANSLATE BUYER EXPECTATIONS INTO PRACTICAL PRODUCTION DECISIONS.
Review materials, components, construction, cost and finish on the physical sample. Record revisions and agree the specification before bulk production.
SELECTED DEVELOPMENT CASES
THE WORK
BEHIND THE PRODUCT.
Two projects. Real samples, specific decisions and the work that turns a direction into product.
AVVA
From direction to delivery.
Design direction, sample refinement, branded components and commercial execution.

STAXX
Material. Structure. Detail.
Brass and silver components, chain construction and the sample decisions behind a brand.
Explore the STAXX case
Design-led. Production-ready.
MAKE THE DETAIL
WORK HARDER.
A connector, a clasp or a finishing choice can change how a product feels and performs. Those details deserve attention while the design is still flexible.

DESIGN YOU CAN SEE.
DEVELOPMENT YOU CAN DISCUSS.
Selected physical samples connect material, construction and finish to the conversation. Explore the archive cases for the work from direction to delivery.
Commercial development
DESIGNED TO
A TARGET.
Target FOB, quantity and launch timing shape the material, construction and production route. Packaging, testing and destination requirements are considered while the design is still flexible.
Share your commercial briefThe right production solution.
SNP directly designs, develops and manufactures fashion jewellery. Depending on the accessory product, we manufacture in-house or work with suitable specialist manufacturers in China, managing the programme from development and sampling to QC, testing coordination and delivery.
- Material & component selection
- Construction & finish
- Packaging & testing coordination
- Quantity & delivery window
Buyer briefs, developments and commercial information are handled with discretion and confidentiality.
Buyer-first judgement
WE TRANSLATE EXPECTATIONS
INTO PRODUCTION DECISIONS.
Design intent, target FOB, material, construction, feasibility, quality, timing and retail consequence. We solve what we can responsibly within the agreed brief, and involve the buyer when their decision is genuinely needed.
Why good suppliers don’t ask every questionASK SNP / Practical product knowledge
FROM THE FACTORY FLOOR.
ASK SNP / 018
What is an Approval Sample really for?
It sets a practical production standard while preserving the buyer-approved style.
ASK SNP / 016When should early production be checked?
Check as early as possible with actual production materials, not only when a large share of the order is complete.
ASK SNP / 067What does SNP add when it does not manufacture the product directly?
SNP identifies and evaluates suitable specialists, then coordinates development, samples, costing, approvals, production follow-up, QC, testing coordination and shipment management.
The operational handoff
APPROVAL SETS
THE PRODUCTION STANDARD.
Once the sample is approved, the task becomes protecting that standard through production and delivery.
