Romantic Formal Dress Gloves in Tulle with Padded Shoulder
Romantic Formal Dress Gloves in Tulle with Padded Shoulder
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a romantic formal dress gloves around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Austria 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.

- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
