Contemporary Tea-Length Mother Of The Bride Dresses in Genuine Leather with Padded Shoulder
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a contemporary tea-length mother of the bride dresses around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
