Parisian Vintage Wedding Gloves in Merino Wool with Gathered Sleeves
Parisian Vintage Wedding Gloves in Merino Wool with Gathered Sleeves
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a parisian vintage wedding gloves around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed parisian 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
