Romantic Silk Flower Brooches in Metallic Thread with Feather Trim
A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a romantic silk flower brooches around a single idea: feather trim, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Egypt 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
