Romantic Pink Baby Socks in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Romantic Pink Baby Socks in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a romantic pink baby socks around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Russia 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
