Case Study: Custom Upf Protection Modest Swimwear for a Yoga Retreat Brand in Poland
Upf Protection Modest Swimwear for a Yoga Retreat Brand in Poland
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us with a upf protection modest swimwear requirement for Poland. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid

What we specified
| Product | Upf Protection Modest Swimwear |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Yoga Retreat Brand |
| Market | Poland |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Alpaca |
| Decoration | Chenille Embroidery |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Alpaca and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Chenille 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% 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.
