Effortless Ankle Boot in Velvet with Tonal Embroidery
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us to develop a effortless ankle boot around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Argentina 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.
The challenge
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
