Effortless Maternity Compression Stockings in boucle with Covered Buttons
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a effortless maternity compression stockings around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Japan 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.

- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
