Modern Newborn Baby Shoes in Suede with Covered Buttons
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a modern newborn baby shoes around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed modern finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
