Parisian Knitting Baby Socks in Cupro with Gathered Sleeves
A Surf School approached us to develop a parisian knitting baby socks around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed parisian 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

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