Sculptural Knitting Baby Socks in Genuine Leather with High-Low Hem
Sculptural Knitting Baby Socks in Genuine Leather with High-Low Hem
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a sculptural knitting baby socks around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed sculptural 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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