Enclosed Toe Bodystocking for an Influencer-Led Brand in South Korea
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us with a enclosed toe bodystocking requirement for South Korea. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Enclosed Toe Bodystocking |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Influencer-Led Brand |
| Market | South Korea |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Jersey Knit |
| Decoration | Yarn Dyeing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Jersey Knit and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Yarn Dyeing 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 8-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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
