Case Study: Custom Vintage Wedding Gloves for a Nonprofit Organization in Thailand

Vintage Wedding Gloves for a Nonprofit Organization in Thailand

A Nonprofit Organization approached us with a vintage wedding gloves requirement for Thailand. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.

The challenge

• Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
• Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around French Linen and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Tie-Dye Wash after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result

• 500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
• Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
• The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
