Elevated Newborn Baby Shoes in Cupro with Contrast Topstitching
Elevated Newborn Baby Shoes in Cupro with Contrast Topstitching
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a elevated newborn baby shoes around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Japan 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
