Elevated Newborn Baby Shoes in Suede with Contrast Topstitching
Elevated Newborn Baby Shoes in Suede with Contrast Topstitching
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a elevated newborn baby shoes around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
