Editorial Grip Sports Gloves in Vegan Leather with Sculptural Draping
A Public School District approached us to develop a editorial grip sports gloves around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for France and needed editorial 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Vegan Leather 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.
- Sculptural Draping 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Public School District launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
