And the trust brands have in Signal designers launches products into the market that are more than on trend, they lead out in the fashion accessories category. The company ships over fifty million units a year, working at the highest tier of luxury products, and introducing lines at mainstream and moderate retail tiers as well.

Design Team

The strength and savvy of the design team in Italy is complemented by Signal’s world-class, worldwide distribution network. Product sourcing and manufacturing takes place in Hong Kong, while distribution is accomplished through a well-established distributor relationship cultivated through years of successful transactions. The US distribution is self-managed, we can drop-ship anywhere in the world, and typical orders are processed and shipped in far less time than the industry standard.

Quality Control

Signal created and continues to improve the quality control process. Signal quality control offices reside in-country where every step of the process can be monitored to insure stringent guidelines are being met throughout the process. When products arrive in Los Angeles or one of our global hubs, they are subject again to quality control requirements before being distributed to showrooms.
