Minimalist Newborn Baby Shoes in Silk with Feather Trim
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a minimalist newborn baby shoes around a single idea: feather trim, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed minimalist 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
