Sculptural Summer Fedora Hats in Vegan Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a sculptural summer fedora hats around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed sculptural 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
