The team was made up of industrial seamstresses. All had excellent crochet and embroidery skills, able to replicate an existing pattern, but not used to generating original designs. The challenge was to harness their skills and provide a conceptual basis for a brand of accessories. 'Snit' means a thread that follows a pattern. This was the underlying idea behind the modular principle the new collection of accessories was based.
A range of printed cloth pouches and a shoulder bag were produced with crocheted and embroidered layered motifs, in which the central feature was a button that the elements could be attached or detached. The idea was to allow the customer to mix and match, assemble and customise their accessories.
Other products included a modular scarf and long mitten set attached by buttons, separate mufflers, collars, braces and belts with a variety of motifs where the button was the characteristic detail.
