Designer Grip Sports Gloves in Organic Denim with Smocked Panel
A Security Company approached us to develop a designer grip sports gloves around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Germany and needed designer finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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