Chic Vintage Wedding Gloves in Velvet with Hand-Finished Hem
A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a chic vintage wedding gloves around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed chic 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The vintage wedding gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Hand-Finished Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a University Athletic Department launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
