OEM and private label · Noida, India
Hide Fashion is a private label leather goods manufacturer in Noida, India, making leather jackets, bags, belts and small leather goods for export brands. Production runs from 50 pieces per style, per colour. A catalog sample is ready in 3–4 days and a custom sample in 1–1.5 weeks. Bulk production takes 60–70 days after sample approval, and every piece ships under your label.
The numbers a sourcing team filters on first. Each is confirmed in writing at quotation for your style, leather and quantity.
Every piece ships under your brand. Your woven labels, care labels, hang tags, embossing, dust bags, polybags and cartons follow your artwork and the labeling rules of your destination market. An NDA is available before you share a design, and files sent through the inquiry form are received privately.
Private label at Hide Fashion runs through one of two routes. Both ship under your label.
What you send: a tech pack, graded pattern, reference sample, sketch or construction brief. What we do: review the construction, fit and leather, grade the pattern into the size system your market needs, build the sample and produce to the approved reference. A custom sample takes 1 to 1.5 weeks. Shipping is separate.
What to send for a quoteChoose a factory-developed, production-tested base style, then direct the leather, construction, finish, hardware and branding. A catalog sample is ready in 3 to 4 days. Use the style number in your brief, for example HF-AUT26-101-026 Cognac Leather Biker Jacket, HF-AUT26-101-015 Tan Shearling-Lined Aviator Jacket, HF-AUT26-102-007 Cognac Structured Commuter Tote, HF-AUT26-102-028 Grey Leather Weekender Duffle.

Production runs from 50 pieces per style, per colour, and colours can't be mixed within the 50. The confirmed minimum depends on leather, construction and hand-work, and is set at quotation.
Before you commit to volume, we review capacity, production dates and expected delivery. A committed order schedule lets us plan materials and production time earlier. If that lowers our cost, we can reflect the saving in your price.
Our Noida factory has capacity for 4,000 leather garments a month and exports about 3,500 on average, with production runs from 50 pieces per style, per colour.
The leather library lets you compare type, hand-feel, color, weight and finish before development begins. The leather chosen at the brief is held for the order. Any style can be made in any suitable leather from the library, or in one matched from your swatch.
Lamb nappa, Italian-tanned lamb and lamb shearling.
Goat suede and washed goat.

An exact catalog style is ready in the factory in 3 to 4 days. A sample built to your tech pack takes 1 to 1.5 weeks. Shipping is separate, following the carrier and route you choose.
The leather; the construction (seams, stitch density, edge finish, panel layout); fit or dimensions; hardware and trims; labels and branding; packing. The approved sample fixes these, so bulk repeats the sample.
Anything not covered in writing can be settled in a 30-minute product review.
A sketch, reference image, physical sample, tech pack or base style number is enough. We confirm receipt within one working day.
Within two working days we reply with the development route and what is still needed to cost it.
Leather type, weight, color and finish are reviewed against the brief, together with lining, hardware and trims.
The pattern is drafted or adapted from the base style and graded into your size system. The sample is built: 3–4 days for a catalog style, 1–1.5 weeks custom.
You check construction, fit and leather. Changes are recorded, and the approved sample becomes the bulk reference.
Sample approved, then 60–70 days, then packed for release. Production runs through seven stages: sampling and grading, cutting, pre-assembly, stitching, finishing, final QC, packaging.
Origin evidence, HS classification support and export documents are prepared with the order.
More than 50 checks across production: cutting-stage checks, a 9-point in-line check at stitching, a 13-point finishing check and a 23-point final quality control by a separate team. Each piece is approved for packing, returned for repair, or rejected. Only approved pieces are packed.
The sample, construction, fit and leather are reviewed. Once approved, the pattern is graded into the sizes required.
Each pattern piece is placed around the natural character of the hide, cut and checked before it moves forward.
Cut pieces are aligned and backed, and the construction marks needed by the sewing line are added.
The line follows the approved construction. A 9-point in-line check catches issues while they can still be corrected.
Adhesive is removed, threads trimmed and edges prepared. A 13-point finishing check is completed.
A separate team checks every piece against 23 final-QC points: approved for packing, returned for repair or rejected.
Only approved pieces are protected, identified and packed for shipment.
