Effortless Cat-Eye Sunglasses in Suede with Covered Buttons
A Surf School approached us to develop a effortless cat-eye sunglasses around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
