Sculptural Block Heel Sandal in Organza with Fringe Trim
A Mining Company approached us to develop a sculptural block heel sandal around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed sculptural 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organza was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The block heel sandal was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Mining Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
