Differentiation Strategy
Differentiation is achieved through material and subtle design refinements to appeal to the mid-tier market. Instead of patent leather, it uses genuine suede, which is trending and offers a softer, more premium texture. The toe shape is updated to a more refined almond silhouette, and the heel is a more distinctive stacked or subtly sculpted block shape. By moving production to a region known for quality footwear like Portugal, the brand can balance craftsmanship with a more accessible price than "Handmade in Brazil."
Success Replication
This spec retains the key elements that drive the reference product's success: the timeless Mary Jane style with an ankle strap and a comfortable block heel. It keeps the premium memory foam cushioned insole, a significant feature for comfort-conscious consumers. The use of genuine leather for the lining maintains a sense of quality and durability. This ensures the product feels like a high-quality item while offering a new interpretation.
