Elevated Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Velvet with Tonal Embroidery
Elevated Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Velvet with Tonal Embroidery
A Dance School approached us to develop a elevated short sleeve women t shirts around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Belgium 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.
The challenge
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
