Romantic Grip Sports Gloves in Tencel with Padded Shoulder
Romantic Grip Sports Gloves in Tencel with Padded Shoulder
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a romantic grip sports gloves around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed romantic finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
