Development
Every Fairfax & Favor product is developed with precision-from the first specification to the final stitch. Our trusted manufacturing partners bring each design to life with exceptional craftsmanship, working from meticulous details like stitch length and edge finish. Once made, each piece is put through rigorous testing-both in real-world conditions and controlled environments-to ensure durability, comfort, and lasting performance. Because true luxury is built to last.
Built From the Finest Foundations
Every product starts with the careful selection of materials, chosen not just for look and feel, but for longevity and performance. We assess leathers, suedes, fabrics, linings and hardware for strength, softness, grain and finish.
Prototyping begins in parallel, with our manufacturing teams using detailed specifications to shape the first samples. These early builds allow us to test everything from boot structure and outerwear seams to handle placement on bags and cushioning in shoes. Fit and comfort are key across all categories, and we make thoughtful refinements until each element works in harmony with the whole.

Performance You Can Count On
Our commitment to quality goes beyond how a product looks, it’s about how it stands up to life. In dedicated labs, we test materials for colour fastness, abrasion resistance, water repellency and tensile strength. Hardware is checked for durability and resistance, and seams are stress-tested for endurance.
Before any product enters production, our Quality Control team conducts hands-on inspections at the factory. From bag lining to boot outsoles, every stitch and surface is checked against our exacting standards.

Tried, Tested, Trusted
To ensure real-world performance, we conduct wear trials across a broad range of testers, sizes and body types. Whether it’s the flexibility of a loafer sole, the balance of a bag strap, or the insulation of a jacket, we gather insights on how each product performs day to day.
This practical feedback informs subtle but essential changes, from insole padding to zip placement to sleeve length. Every detail is refined to enhance comfort, functionality and confidence for the wearer.

Made With Skill. Finished With Care.
We partner with skilled factories across Europe, selected for their technical expertise and commitment to responsible manufacturing. Construction methods, from Blake stitching on boots to strobel and cement techniques in shoes, are chosen based on the product’s needs and purpose.
Grading ensures every product fits consistently across sizes and styles, while finishing touches, like edge painting, foiling, or quilting, elevate each piece. Our signature blue box, FSC-certified packaging and protective accessories complete the process, delivering a product that’s as beautifully presented as it is expertly made.
