Boutique Formal Dress Gloves in Velvet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Boutique Formal Dress Gloves in Velvet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a boutique formal dress gloves around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed boutique 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The formal dress gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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 Uniform Supplier launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
