Tailored Viking Belt Accessories in Washed Linen with Smocked Panel
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a tailored viking belt accessories around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
