Elevated Grip Sports Gloves in Genuine Leather with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a elevated grip sports gloves around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed elevated 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

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