Plus Size Competition Swimsuits for an Influencer-Led Brand in Egypt
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us with a plus size competition swimsuits requirement for Egypt. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Plus Size Competition Swimsuits |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Influencer-Led Brand |
| Market | Egypt |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Denim |
| Decoration | DTF Film Printing |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Denim and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to DTF Film Printing 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
