Capsule Winter Leg Warmers in Silk with Crystal Embellishment
A Wholesale Distributor approached us to develop a capsule winter leg warmers around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Argentina and needed capsule 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
