Contemporary Grip Sports Gloves in Washed Linen with Monogram Hardware
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a contemporary grip sports gloves around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed contemporary 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- Monogram Hardware was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
