Chic Knitting Baby Socks in Silk with Bow Detail
A Cycling Team approached us to develop a chic knitting baby socks around a single idea: bow detail, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed chic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

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