Moccasin development process
Moccasin slipper development, from brief to FOB delivery.
Mocario coordinates each B2B project through defined information, physical samples, written approvals and production controls. The sequence below shows who decides what—and when the next stage can begin.

- PHASE 04Production and deliverySteps 11–14
Phase 01 — Project definition
Make the direction assessable.
The project begins by separating confirmed requirements from assumptions that require factory review or sample validation.

- 01
Share the direction
Provide reference images, a physical sample or concept together with the intended product type, market, use, sizes, branding and packaging direction.
- 02
Build the brief
Mocario organizes available information, identifies missing decisions and confirms whether the project fits the moccasin slipper development scope.
- 03
Review feasibility
The partner factory reviews materials, construction, fit, footbed, suitable existing outsole options and technical risks before development proceeds.
Phase 02 — Sample and quotation
Use the physical product to confirm the commercial basis.
- 04
Confirm paid sampling
The customer prepays the non-refundable sample fee and arranges the applicable courier cost before physical development begins.
- 05
Review the sample
The factory makes the sample. Mocario checks the physical result against the brief before sharing it for customer review and corrections.
- 06
Confirm the sample
Approved materials, colors, construction, sizing, branding and packaging direction become the product reference for commercial review.
- 07
Issue the quotation
Mocario provides the first formal quotation after the factory evaluates the developed product and applicable commercial requirements.
A formal quotation is not issued from reference images alone.


Phase 03 — Order and PPS
Reconfirm the order before bulk materials are committed.
- 08
Check PO and PI
Mocario checks the PO against the agreed product, quantity, price, payment, testing, inspection, documentation and FOB Ningbo conditions.
- 09
Make the PPS
After receiving the PO, confirming the PI and receiving the agreed initial payment, the factory makes a pre-production sample using the intended bulk materials.
- 10
Approve the PPS
Mocario checks the PPS and submits the relevant records for written customer approval before bulk purchasing and production.
Phase 04 — Production and delivery
Control the approved direction through shipment release.
- 11
Coordinate production
After PPS approval, the factory purchases bulk materials and produces against the frozen references and confirmed order requirements.
- 12
Review progress
The factory provides bi-weekly progress information to Mocario. Relevant exceptions and decisions are communicated to the customer.
- 13
Inspect before shipment
Mocario conducts a random pre-shipment inspection at the partner factory. A specified third-party inspection may be arranged at the customer's cost.
- 14
Release FOB delivery
Shipment proceeds after applicable inspection, payment, booking and export requirements are complete, and any quality issue has been resolved through a written decision.
