Modern Formal Evening Dresses in Genuine Leather with Covered Buttons
Modern Formal Evening Dresses in Genuine Leather with Covered Buttons
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a modern formal evening dresses around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Taiwan 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
