What we do, why our model differs from traditional wholesale, and the friction we built Vikotti to remove for international buyers.
What we do
Vikotti is a single platform that connects verified international buyers with LWG-certified European workshops. Catalog, configurator, ordering, production tracking, invoicing — all in one place, all in your name.
Why we're different
Traditional wholesale forces you to buy a pre-decided product. Vikotti hands you the toolset of the workshop: leather, sole, lining, size run — chosen per order, priced live, locked at deposit.
What we fix
We removed the layers between you and the people who make the shoes. Pricing is transparent. Status is live. Lead times are committed in writing. You always know where your order is and what it cost.

LWG-certified workshops
Every Vikotti order moves through four phases — design, sample, produce, deliver. The platform tracks the order at each phase so you, our team, and the workshop are looking at the same status at the same time.
Browse the live catalog, configure colour, leather, sole and lining for any model. Book a video review with our design team if you want a second eye on the spec before you commit.
Order physical prototypes of your exact configuration. Approve, tweak or iterate before committing to a run — so the production order lands without surprises.
Lock the order with a 30% deposit. Italian factory craftsmen build your run in 3–5 weeks, with every pair quality-checked against the spec sheet before it leaves the floor.
Worldwide shipping, ex-works or DAP — direct to your warehouse on schedule. Balance settled before pallets ship; tracking shared the same day.
Stage-by-stage week breakdown lives on the Lead Times page. Sampling terms are on the Sample Policy page.

On Vikotti
You order directly from the platform. The workshop receives the spec exactly as you configured it — nothing rewritten, nothing re-quoted.

Ex-works pricing is live in the configurator the moment you have a verified account. Deposit terms are fixed at 30%; no surprise fees at shipment.

Every order has a live status mapped to the production stage. If the dispatch ETA changes by more than two business days, you receive an email — automatically.

Minimums apply per model, not per SKU. Curated buyers get to behave like curated buyers without inflating their order.

On Vikotti
One platform. One proforma. One balance invoice. One dashboard — for every order, every workshop, every season.
Brokers add their margin and their email-thread bottleneck. A platform replaces both with software: configuration, pricing, status and paperwork all live in your dashboard, accessible at any hour, in any time zone. The workshop keeps its margin, you keep yours, and nobody has to chase a salesperson for a quote.
The shoes are still made by hand, in Italy, on the same lasts and in the same workshops that supply some of the houses you already know. We are not changing how leather footwear is built — we are changing how a wholesale buyer reaches the workshop that builds it.
Apply for a wholesale account — verified within 24 hours — and you'll see live pricing, MOQs, and the full configurator on the catalog.
