Lace Underpants for a Bridal Studio in Austria
A Bridal Studio approached us with a lace underpants requirement for Austria. 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
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
What we specified
| Product | Lace Underpants |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | Austria |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Faux Leather PU |
| Decoration | Enzyme Wash |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Faux Leather PU and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Enzyme Wash 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
