Sculptural Men'S Tuxedo Gloves in Satin with Feather Trim
Sculptural Men'S Tuxedo Gloves in Satin with Feather Trim
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a sculptural men's tuxedo gloves around a single idea: feather trim, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Italy 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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