Its been over A YEAR since I started working with this company and frankly I am over it. Being a new entrapenur has many disadvantages and it was very easy for me to fall victum to this company. From their website it seems like a dream, a one stop shop to get a shoe design and manufauctered. But 6 months in I started to get this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had picked the wrong person to work with.
The first prototype they sent me was not what I had envisioned at all. Its weird because I sent them a picture of my own shoes that I had modified myself and that I wanted a more professional version of them. What I got was not even close and we had zoom meeting to dicuss prior.
They contacted me only once during that process. I had a meeting with them and traveled to NYC from DC to make sure we were on the same page for the 2nd draft. after months of waiting I finally got them but heres the real kicker .... they didn't fit and the zipper broke.
I didnt even get to wear them once and test to see if the procduct they designed would even be functional. I let them know and they told me to send them back in March. I reached out them in June, then again in July. After that I decided not to put my eggs in one basket and found someone to work with locally. Get this... We got it done in 2 months for not even close to what I paid Modern Vice and it was time to let these guys go so I could move on to the next phase.
I called the owner Jordan Adoni and he did not answer and his voicemail is always full. Within 5 minutes he texted me which is in my opionin pretty unprofessional and just said my shoes would be ready next week. I told him that I appreciated his companies efforts but the protype has been completed by someone else and there is no need to proceed and would like to dicuss policies for reinbursment.
He said that they made a killer product but the problem is I dont have it after waiting for 4 months and the basic components didnt work so I decided to go a different route and dicuss it on the phone. I even offered to compinsate them for the work already done but stop the project immediatly. His response was that he would not be avalible till Monday.
Thats weird because I am a client who has spent almost 3K and you cant speak to me till 7 days from now? I tried calling his assistant and sent them both emails expressing my wishes but so far they have not responded. I am just hoping this company has only profitted off my stupidity and not anyone elses. But if so I hope to connect becasue I plan on taking legal action if I dont hear from them.
Like many people I had a dream to start my own footwear company. I looked around and the only place I could find was modern vice in New York who sell their own shoes but develop shoes for others on the side. At first everything seemed legit. I talked on the phone with them, and they where very polite and responded fast. They promised many things that caught my attention ( come to find out it was all bs) after I paid my deposit it was a complete 180 the next day. I had to wait months to get a response for anything. Being new to the footwear industry I did have many questions. When they did respond they were beyond rude to me for no reason. I sent in my designs and they sketched it out on the last which looked somewhat decent. When it was time to make the shoe I didn't hear from them for about 4 months with constant phone calls and emails. I don't live anywhere near the east cost and I got worried so I filed a POLICE REPORT!! in my county. I then sent an email to the owner after what I have done. I finally get an email back stating the booties are being made. And that there was an issue with their computers. The product however I got was nothing like what I wanted and on top of that it took over 7 months to make after I filed a police report!!. I'm out over TWO THOUSAND The owner bullied me, saying things such as, this is what you asked for and this is what you wanted, however I barely had any communication with them.
