Editorial Grip Sports Gloves in Vegan Leather with Hand-Finished Hem
A Golf Club approached us to develop a editorial grip sports gloves around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Chile 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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