Tailored Formal Dress Gloves in Tencel with Gathered Sleeves
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a tailored formal dress gloves around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed tailored 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Tencel 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.
- 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.
Result
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Private Clinic launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
