Romantic Newborn Baby Shoes in Merino Wool with Draped Neckline
Romantic Newborn Baby Shoes in Merino Wool with Draped Neckline
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a romantic newborn baby shoes around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed romantic 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
