CONSULTING SERVICES
At Elegnano®, we bridge the gap between elegant products and technology. Apart from Elegnano's internationally awarded footwear label incorporating nanotechnology, the company has also built out a unique expertise in the world of fashion tech.
Since 2016, we have been helping other companies in different industries across the world to merge fashion and technology in real products - hardware, as the techies would call it. Our focus is on innovative products at the intersection of fashion and technology, think wearables, electronics, smart insoles, and AR glasses but also leather alternatives and lab-grown materials. We specialize in startups but have worked with SMEs and multinationals across Europe, the USA, and Asia, as well.
​​
We work with our customers to come to the right formula for the challenge they are trying to tackle:​
​​
-
Fashion Tech Product Development: For fashion, design, and tech companies that are looking to challenge the status quo of their industry and want to integrate innovative technologies into wearable products or products with a strong aesthetical component, we help with identifying the best implementation strategy to bring the idea to life: from ideation to execution.

Startup Consulting: Do you want to start your own company in fashion/footwear or fashion tech, but have no idea where to start? Did you already start your own company, but are struggling with getting to that next stage - figuring out production, your go-to-market strategy, going international, getting featured in media/press, etc.? We have an accessible consulting service for you that helps you take the first or next step.​​​​
Fashion Tech Product Development
From concept to execution...
​
Our approach involves deep collaboration with your team to understand your vision, conducting thorough market analysis, and exploring the latest advancements in materials, smart textiles, and wearable tech while not losing sight of the aesthetical side of your product with regard to the end user.
​
We guide you through every stage of product development, from ideation and prototyping to testing and scaling for production. We don't try to force our clients into a standard template or process. Every product is unique. Especially in an industry as young as fashion tech, we believe it is important to put a tailor-made plan and strategy together. In all of our projects, we offer our clients a combination of technical/design expertise, industry insights, connections to production partners if needed, and strategic advice. We can offer a very hands-on approach where our subject experts complement your team's expertise with a focus on innovation and practical implementation but we can also fulfill a more hands-off role and function as a guiding light in a less familiar industry.
We are driven to create fashion tech products with you that not only push boundaries but also deliver seamless functionality and an exceptional user experience. Whether you're looking to create tech-infused apparel, smart accessories, or entirely new wearable solutions, we can provide the expertise and insights needed to bring your ideas to life.
