Runway-Inspired Winter Leg Warmers in Satin with Fringe Trim
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a runway-inspired winter leg warmers around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed runway-inspired 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Satin was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The winter leg warmers was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
