Bohemian Professional Volleyball Shoes in boucle with Asymmetric Closure

Bohemian Professional Volleyball Shoes in boucle with Asymmetric Closure

An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a bohemian professional volleyball shoes around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed bohemian 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. boucle 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. Asymmetric Closure 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Influencer-Led Brand 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.
