Statement Cycling Glasses in Tencel with Padded Shoulder
A Golf Club approached us to develop a statement cycling glasses around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed statement 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cycling glasses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Golf Club launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
