Chic Grip Sports Gloves in Satin with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Mining Company approached us to develop a chic grip sports gloves around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed chic 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
