Chic Professional Volleyball Shoes in Cupro with Raw-Edge Detailing

Chic Professional Volleyball Shoes in Cupro with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a chic professional volleyball shoes around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed chic 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The professional volleyball shoes was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Corporate Procurement Team launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
