When it comes to resin jewelry, why can some command high-end custom prices while others can only compete in the low-cost, mass-production market?   The difference isn’t in the material itself, but in whether the design captures a consumer’s emotional connection—and embeds it into the product.   Take this spherical pendant as an example: what’s preserved inside isn’t just a flower, but the wearer’s memory.   Through meticulous techniques such as degassing and layered curing, we ensure the flowers remain perfectly shaped and unfaded within the clear medium, allowing that emotional symbol to be preserved for years. A small creative idea, paired with consistent craftsmanship, can elevate a piece from simply “beautiful” to “worth keeping,” placing it in an entirely different price bracket and consumption scenario.   True micro-innovation isn’t about reinventing from scratch—it’s about using insight to precisely hit the demand, and executing every detail to fully justify the premium.   In a market where price competition is fierce, these seemingly minor differences are often the key to breaking free from homogenization. #JewelryDesign #BrandDifferentiation #ProductInnovation #EmotionalConnection #HighEndCustom

Can we radically reduce complexity in product design… and still produce new arresting looks, feels, and functions? We think the answer is yes. Not by using more materials, but by combining the right ones, in the right way. That’s how we approached our collaborative footwear concept, the Korvaa Shoe: a running shoe designed the way nature might. 👟 Nature doesn’t waste.  It doesn’t over-engineer.  It simply combines the right elements in the right way. Our Head of Growth Sarah West Young shared this call to action with the industry at the Future Fabrics Expo in June, speaking to our collaboration with Ecovative and Ourobio to design a concept shoe with just 5 material components (instead of 35+). You can watch the full seminar on The Sustainable Angle YouTube channel: 'Material Flows: Fashioning Future Footwear'. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/e7P9siHB #Korvaa #Biomaterials #FootwearDesign #MaterialInnovation

GSM vs. Shrinkage in Fabrics 🧵When it comes to fabric selection, two numbers make all the difference:🔹 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) – This tells us the weight and density of a fabric. Higher GSM usually means thicker, more durable fabrics, but it also influences drape, comfort, and cost.🔹 Shrinkage (%) – This is the fabric’s dimensional change after washing. Keeping shrinkage under control ensures garments keep their shape, size, and fit over time.Why do these matter? Because understanding GSM and shrinkage from the very beginning helps you achieve:✅ Smarter fabric sourcing✅ Precise pattern development✅ Consistent product quality✅ Happier customers👉 Both numbers are key to reducing risk and delivering garments that perform well in real life.What other fabric quality factors do you always keep an eye on?
