I am now fully underway in the final major project. The deadline for the products is tomorrow and unfortunately mine are not completely finished. I have made 6 pairs of gloves, all of the outside shells of the gloves are finished it is just the linings that need to be completed. Where I was hand sewing the gloves it took me a lot longer to get them done, but I am pleased with how they are looking now.
The gloves have a vintage antique theme, with the element of hand craft and each glove being different and unique. The gloves could be art display pieces or could be worn as part of a directional styled outfit for magazine shoots or period featured photos.
I am going to try and keep the theme of handcraft going through the whole of the project. I am thinking of having hand-made wooden boxes with ornate hinges and clips to match the antique theme and then have the brand identity engraved into the top of the box.
I have an embroidery design on each of the gloves that have messages within the design that are also decorated around with coloured flowers. These designs are done by the embroidery machine, but each glove has a hand embroidered heart somewhere on the glove as kind of a signature to know that the glove is from my brand. I would like to incorporate the embroidery somewhere else into the brand identity, maybe on the business cards or on some type of stationary, this is something that I will need to develop on.
I am looking forward to giving in the gloves tomorrow so I can start to focus on the brand identity and really get things moving.
I will still have the gloves to finish but I am hoping that the linings and the small last bits of embellishment won’t take much longer.
