Tailored Viking Belt Accessories in Suede with Lace Inset
Tailored Viking Belt Accessories in Suede with Lace Inset
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a tailored viking belt accessories around a single idea: lace inset, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed tailored 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
