Full Body Kid Mannequin for a Hotel Group in Qatar
A Hotel Group approached us with a full body kid mannequin requirement for Qatar. 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
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
What we specified
| Product | Full Body Kid Mannequin |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Hotel Group |
| Market | Qatar |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base fabric | Rayon |
| Decoration | Yarn Dyeing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Rayon 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- 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.
