Contemporary Vintage Wedding Gloves in Metallic Thread with Sculptural Draping
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a contemporary vintage wedding gloves around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for China and needed contemporary 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
