Case Study

Copenhagen Came to Heyuan.

Seven years ago MESSYWEEKEND went looking for a factory — and found a partner. Our whole acetate collection is made at CIC, and we wouldn't have it made anywhere else.

The Partnership

A Factory That Gets It.

We're genuinely proud of this one. CIC builds the way we'd build if we ran our own factory — they care about the tiny things we lose sleep over, and they hold the line on quality like it's theirs, not ours. From the first samples it just clicked.

Seven years in, it still feels like one team. They've grown with us season after season, never cut a corner, and made frames we're proud to put our name on. Honestly, they make our lives easier — and that's the highest thing we can say about a manufacturing partner.

What We Love

In our words
  1. 01

    Shared standards.

    They hold quality the way we do — nothing leaves the floor that we wouldn't wear ourselves.

  2. 02

    A direct line.

    We talk to the people actually making the frames, not a sales desk. Questions get real answers, fast.

  3. 03

    Obsessed with colour.

    Every Pantone, every layer, matched until it's right. They sweat the acetate exactly like we do.

  4. 04

    Years, not orders.

    It has never felt transactional. They've grown with the brand and treat it like their own.
