Contrado: Print on Demand

Ordered a leather handbag, expected something decent, and they overdelivered. I paid almost $200 for the bag, amazing to say, the quality is on par with genuine louis vuitton, valentino, chanel; the craftsmanship is impeccable. The stitching, leather quality, hardware is to die for. Anyone saying it is "expensive" should see what luxury handbags cost before they complain it's "expensive". One of the best PODs I've ever used. And no, the mockups aren't bad. I wish this company offered down jackets (heavy winter jackets). I love jackets and I believe this company would do an amazing job with those. My ONLY criticism is they should offer clothing mockups without models in the photos. I cannot sell the photos with models, as it does not fit my brand. Besides that, I promise you the shipping time and product is beyond my expectations. The bag I got is the best I own, I own genuine Italian leather, yet they knock them out of the park. I'm obsessed with the bag.

I absolutely love working with Contrado, some of the finest leather workers, seamstresses, bookmakers, candlemakers, and other craftsmen in their field. The customer service is among the best I have experienced for myself and my customers. It is truly an honor to work and grow my business with such an incredible team. AMW Perspective is proud to work with a company that cares to make a difference and has high standards of care with responsible end-to-end production and increased consciousness of sustainability & eco-friendliness of our customers.

I really LOVE Contrado. For one, customer support is superb. Second, the product quality is amazing, print is so crisp and clean, and the leather and silk (amidst other material options) are great. The shipping time and processing is really fast and efficient, too. Overall, I am SO glad I came across them. They are PERFECT for the artist looking to penetrate a more high end market place with their art - taking it to a "designer" "high fashion" level. For myself as an artist and fashion lover, this is the meeting of both worlds. I am so excited to see what they come out with next! Very pleased, highly recommend, and look forward to working with them for years to come!

The Contrado app is easy to use. I use their website to create the products, click "sync" and boom, there it is on my shopify website! Their print service is fast as all heck and they ship to the US quickly and at a low cost. I ran into trouble when a couple products "disappeared" from my shopify page and I couldn't get them to return. Their staff actually reached out to me to offer help. Deepa is so patient and worked with me to figure out what went wrong. She knows all, I swear.
Here's the fix: take it off your Contrado site and MAKE A NEW LISTING with the same information. Easy peasy!! I've ordered maybe 50 items from them thus far and every single one has been exactly the high quality they advertise and I expected. I had color trouble once, and recommend that you use designs with a higher contrast than you think you need since they show up differently on fabric than on a computer screen. They also offer automated payments so when a customer places an order, they pay you, and the order and payment for the item goes straight to Contrado so you can relax knowing everything in production, shipping, and payment is entirely taken care of. TL;DR the Contrado app is worth the download, their products are great, and their customer service is 10/10.

I love Contrado. They create quality products with stellar customer service. They are one of the few PODs that work in high quality leather printing with carefully selected clasps and zips. Those details make a big difference in the overall luxury feel of their products. They have a beautiful 3D visualization of your design during the digital building of the product which shows it from all angles. They seem intent on building relationships with artists and designers which boost their company, and will go out of their way to make sure that you are happy. (I do wish that they had downloadable templates using Adobe applications (Illustrator/Photoshop) for precise positioning, but It is pretty easy to navigate sizing so far.) Highly recommend this app. You actually feel that there are people with craftsmanship and skills behind this integration who are ready to make beautiful things. And when they see you making an effort to create beautiful things, they support your efforts. The integration with the Shopify app is pretty seamless. I've only had a couple of glitches with revising products and losing the tags associated with them. Once I reached out to describe the technical stuff, the Contrado IT department resolved it. Again, there are actually people behind this company doing great work!
