Romantic Formal Dress Gloves in Cupro with Gathered Sleeves
Romantic Formal Dress Gloves in Cupro with Gathered Sleeves
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a romantic formal dress gloves around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed romantic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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