Minimalist Formal Dress Gloves in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery
Minimalist Formal Dress Gloves in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery
A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a minimalist formal dress gloves around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
