Hi everyone, I’m the co-founder of Markhor (YC S15). Our goal is to connect you (the customer) directly with the craftsmen, who are making your products regardless of in which part of the world they're being made. Internet has enabled us to do so especially in the developing countries (this is where most of the luxury goods are made). Today we are taking the first step towards our goal and launching our transparency project. We believe you have the right to know where and under what conditions your products are made and who is making them. We believe no one wants to wear a pair of shoes/clothing made by a child or a pregnant women. Even though our craftsmen have been making European shoes for decades, it’s only now that we are able to connect them directly to the end customer. So what transparency are we bringing to our own company? For every order or a pair of shoes, you’ll know about the craftsmen/women who made them. You’ll receive step-by-step details about the work in progress through email. This is our first step (in beta right now) in this direction and we're experimenting this with some of our customers and the Kickstarter backers. And as part of being transparent, I just wanted to clarify this: We pay 2-5x the local wages to our craftsmen. You can see the email screenshot above. Happy to answer any questions about our products or the transparency mission in general. PS. Product Hunters get 20% off their first order by using the code 'PH20' at the checkout! 👊

Waqas and Sidra grew up in the Pakistani village where a large number of luxury leather shoes and handicrafts are made. They know the craftspeople directly and are building tomorrow's luxury shoe line that cuts out all the middlemen and goes direct over the Internet. They're selling the highest quality shoes that would normally retail for $1000 or more at half the price, and giving 5X more directly to the people who make it. This is like Everlane, but even more direct since Markhor works directly with the makers, not through a factory intermediary. It's a big idea whose time has come. Why is it that we can manufacture computers halfway around the world and get it overnighted to your doorstep while luxury goods sell the same way they have for decades? Markhor is an interesting mix because they have the direct relationships with craftspeople who have been working on these crafts for decades, but they have the ability to translate those quality goods to a global stage. It's a new brand, and one enabled by the Internet.

I have to ask - why did you start with men's shoes and then women's? What was the logic?

@corleyh Hi Corley, we started Markhor with a small group of craftsmen in our village. At that time (early 2012) they were making just men handcrafted shoes. So it was natural to start with just men shoes and master that before we add new products. In addition to me being CEO, 4 of our 7 team members are women - so we too feel left out. :) But the good news is we have been working on our women collection for few months now and will be launching them within two months. Are you up for an early look on the designs and give us feedback may be? 👠👠Just DM me on twitter and we'll get start.
