Romantic Wool Coats in Velvet with Gathered Sleeves
A Mining Company approached us to develop a romantic wool coats around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Belgium and needed romantic finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
