Editorial Summer Fedora Hats in Vegan Leather with Covered Buttons
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a editorial summer fedora hats around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed editorial 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 sample did not match the runway reference

- The summer fedora hats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The a Corporate Procurement Team launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
