Statement Winter Leg Warmers in Suede with Chunky Chain Strap
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a statement winter leg warmers around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Canada and needed statement 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
