Vintage-Inspired Cat-Eye Sunglasses in Silk with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a vintage-inspired cat-eye sunglasses around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed vintage-inspired finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cat-eye sunglasses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Uniform Supplier launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
