Contemporary Men'S Tuxedo Gloves in Vegan Leather with Padded Shoulder
A Manufacturing Plant approached us to develop a contemporary men's tuxedo gloves around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed contemporary finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
