Elevated Newborn Baby Shoes in Merino Wool with Gathered Sleeves
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a elevated newborn baby shoes around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Russia 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.
