Houndstuds: Revolutionizing Classic Pyramid Studs with a 3D Hounds-tooth Pattern

Original Ornament On Leather Goods

Houndstuds is a groundbreaking collection by Midnight Factory that combines the classic hounds-tooth pattern with pyramid studs to create a unique and luxurious design. Inspired by the elegance of hounds-tooth and the edginess of pyramid studs, this collection redefines the boundaries of fashion.

The Houndstuds collection presents the classic hounds-tooth pattern in an original 3D context, revolutionizing the traditional pyramid studs. Each stud features a 3D hounds-tooth design, and when combined, they create a mesmerizing 3D hounds-tooth pattern that adds a groundbreaking sense of touch to the design. The increase in reflective surfaces also brings a luxurious appeal to the applied products.

What sets Houndstuds apart is the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each Houndstud is carefully assembled onto the product by hand, ensuring a perfect alignment to simulate the classic hounds-tooth pattern. To overcome the challenge of aligning the studs accurately, a dual anchor system was developed. This innovative solution allows each stud to be fixed on two focal points, providing stability and precision during the assembling process.

The Houndstuds collection includes a variety of leather goods, such as cardholders, that showcase the distinctiveness of the studs and the provocative appeal of the design. The irregular surfaces of the studs add extra shininess, elevating the presentation of the products. With the Houndstuds collection, you can bring a different vibe to your daily outlook.

Midnight Factory's Houndstuds collection was launched as part of their Spring Summer 2018 Collection in Hong Kong and has since become their signature collection. The design process was based on extensive market research, which revealed a lack of products featuring a provocative style. The Houndstuds collection fills this gap with its unique and edgy design.

This innovative design has not gone unnoticed. The Houndstuds collection was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Fashion and Travel Accessories Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Houndstuds collection stood out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world.

With Midnight Factory's Houndstuds collection, you can embrace the fusion of classic elegance and edgy style. Experience the revolution of pyramid studs with a 3D hounds-tooth pattern and elevate your fashion game to new heights.
