Modern Grip Sports Gloves in Vegan Leather with Fringe Trim
Modern Grip Sports Gloves in Vegan Leather with Fringe Trim
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a modern grip sports gloves around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Vietnam and needed modern 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
