Effortless Lace Underpants in Crochet with Fringe Trim
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a effortless lace underpants around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
