Custom Acetate Comb with Leather Case for a Dutch Skincare Brand

A Dutch skincare oil brand with no comb sourcing experience needed a premium acetate wide-tooth comb with leather case as a branded accessory — material education, finish comparison, and leather refinement turned a first-time buyer into a 1,000-piece bulk order.

Background

The Story

A Dutch skincare oil brand was looking to expand their product line with a premium branded hair comb — a natural extension of their beauty routine positioning. As a skincare-first company, they had no prior experience sourcing combs and needed guidance on materials, finishes, and production processes.

They wanted a product that matched the premium, natural identity of their skincare line — something that would work as both a standalone retail product and a promotional gift for their customers.

Challenge

What They Were Worried About

The client had no knowledge of comb materials or manufacturing processes, so every decision required education and visual references — from acetate vs. other materials, to surface finish options, to logo application techniques.

After pre-production samples were completed, the client was unhappy with the leather case — both the color and the grain texture didn't match their expectations. This required producing additional leather samples in different textures and colors for the client to compare before bulk production could proceed.

The client was also concerned about whether the finished product's color and surface quality would match the design concept they had approved on screen.
