Chic Ballet Stirrup Leg Warmers in Velvet with Lace Inset
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a chic ballet stirrup leg warmers around a single idea: lace inset, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed chic finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
