Editorial Cycling Glasses in Genuine Leather with Delicate Pleating
A Logistics Provider approached us to develop a editorial cycling glasses around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed editorial 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- The cycling glasses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
