Modern Volleyball Compression Pants in Suede with Tonal Embroidery
Modern Volleyball Compression Pants in Suede with Tonal Embroidery
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a modern volleyball compression pants around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed modern 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
