Minimalist Cycling Glasses in boucle with Monogram Hardware
A Hotel Group approached us to develop a minimalist cycling glasses around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Germany and needed minimalist 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

- boucle 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.
- Monogram Hardware 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hotel Group 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.
