it’s all in the bag…
CUT AND SEW VIRTUOSO
How is this different?
Great product design starts with a robust industrial design process. This includes user research, problem definition, intense ideation and refinement to nail the functionality.
But we’re only getting started. A premium cut and sew product shows mastery across disciplines: from in-depth materials knowledge for just the right texture, sheen and drape, to understanding trim materials and how they’re applied, to balancing complexity of features and layers of material. Resolution of all of these components takes experience and skill. Black Thread brings this to the table.
Just a like a tailored suit or the right pair of jeans, a premium sewn product also needs nuanced pattern making, top notch detailing and a crisp level of finish. Black Thread Creative can work internally or with your manufacturing partners to achieve that just-right look.
In most cases, a bag must be built inside out, and often exposed edges are edgebound and the bag is ‘turned’ for it’s final presentation. These final steps can take a beautiful product back to average. Attention to detail and understanding manufacturing even to the final stage is critical to a premium level of finish.
