Throwback Thursday — London!
Throwback Thursday — London!

Better late than never! Back in March, we visited London for some Spring ‘25 development meetings and managed to squeeze in a bit of hurried trend spotting. While it’s taken us a while to share these trends with you, we figured cooling down with mistly London is a perfect antidote to sweltering temps everywhere!

After what seemed like a NY winter that would not end, we loaded up our car and headed down to Charleston, South Carolina, where history, lots of pink, blown out hair, day drinking and modernity intertwine. While I filed this trip under vacay- I couldn’t help but snap a few pics for y’all.

Marina

Capsule Collective is the brainchild of our founder, Marina Levine, who, tired of the footwear drama and costs associated with big sourcing companies, decided to kick off something bold. She teamed up with Max Footwear Factory Group, shoe manufacturer partner in crime, to bring true footwear expertise to the table.

You guessed it. Marina is not a flamingo! Placeholder until bio pic’s teeth are brightened with Photoshop!

The Team

Since our humble beginnings in that WeWork cubicle, Capsule Collective has evolved into a small-but-mighty team helping you navigate often opaque waters of footwear manufacturing. The above team, comprised of footwear technicians, costing specialists, material experts, compliance managers and brand directors are not just good – they’ are the best in the business.

The Factory

Capsule Collective is partnered with a factory group that’s basically the Swiss Army knife of manufacturing. Their vertical integration of design, production, distribution, and retail will cover all of your growth needs. With factories in China and Vietnam, including a speed-to-market facility for test orders, this partnership is the one you want on your side when you need quality and efficiency rolled into one.

Testimonials

  • Kimberly White

    Senior Designer

    I have worked with Marina on a variety of occasions, and her services are nothing short of excellent every time. She's organized, reliable, and exceptional at strategizing new solutions. Her charm and wit at times made me forget we were working, but the end result always portrayed how much was accomplished. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the near future!

  • Garry DaCosta

    Vice President of Sales

    I have had the pleasure of working with Marina for many years. She is incredibly talented and very easy to work and collaborate with. She also posesses a unique talent in that she understands fashion design and how to interpret it to a specific brand and customer profile, but also fully understands the business aspect of our industry.

    Marina’s strategic mindset enables her to navigate complexities, contributing significantly to our footwear project successes. Noteworthy is her engaging interpersonal style. She maintains effective communication, making collaboration enjoyable. Capsule Collective was referred to us when our footwear sourcing partner failed us.
