Contemporary Summer Fedora Hats in Crochet with Draped Neckline
A Golf Club approached us to develop a contemporary summer fedora hats around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed contemporary 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we would repeat
