Contemporary Grip Sports Gloves in Merino Wool with Fringe Trim
A Dance School approached us to develop a contemporary grip sports gloves around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed contemporary 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The grip sports gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Dance School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
