Runway-Inspired Knitting Baby Socks in Silk with Covered Buttons
A Logistics Provider approached us to develop a runway-inspired knitting baby socks around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed runway-inspired finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference

What we would repeat
