Vintage-Inspired Vintage Wedding Gloves in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Vintage-Inspired Vintage Wedding Gloves in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Logistics Provider approached us to develop a vintage-inspired vintage wedding gloves around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed vintage-inspired 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
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The vintage wedding gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Logistics Provider launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
