Elevated Knitting Baby Socks in Vegan Leather with Contrast Topstitching
A Mining Company approached us to develop a elevated knitting baby socks around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for China and needed elevated 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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