Grey Womens Jogging Suit for a Beauty Salon Chain in Italy
A Beauty Salon Chain approached us with a grey womens jogging suit requirement for Italy. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
What we specified
| Product | Grey Womens Jogging Suit |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Beauty Salon Chain |
| Market | Italy |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Canvas |
| Decoration | Flat Embroidery |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Canvas and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Flat Embroidery after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.
Result
- 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
