Editorial Grip Sports Gloves in Cashmere with Delicate Pleating
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a editorial grip sports gloves around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed editorial 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- The grip sports gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Boutique Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
