Chic Grip Sports Gloves in Suede with Delicate Pleating
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a chic grip sports gloves around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for South Korea 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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