Effortless Silk Flower Brooches in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Hotel Group approached us to develop a effortless silk flower brooches around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
