Chic Winter Leg Warmers in Washed Linen with Tonal Embroidery
A Wholesale Distributor approached us to develop a chic winter leg warmers around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for India and needed chic 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
