Minimalist Formal Dress Gloves in Cashmere with Bow Detail
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a minimalist formal dress gloves around a single idea: bow detail, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed minimalist 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
