Elevated Formal Dress Gloves in Cashmere with Bow Detail
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a elevated formal dress gloves around a single idea: bow detail, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed elevated 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 sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Cashmere 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.
- Bow Detail 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

- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer 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.
