Modern Formal Dress Gloves in Vegan Leather with Open Back
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a modern formal dress gloves around a single idea: open back, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed modern 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

What we would repeat
