Tailored Vintage Wedding Gloves in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail
Tailored Vintage Wedding Gloves in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail
A Government Agency approached us to develop a tailored vintage wedding gloves around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Kenya 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Crochet 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.
- Cut-Out Detail was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Government Agency launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
