Modest High Neck Swimsuit for an Independent Fashion Designer in Saudi Arabia
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us with a modest high neck swimsuit requirement for Saudi Arabia. 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
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Modest High Neck Swimsuit |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Independent Fashion Designer |
| Market | Saudi Arabia |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | UPF 50+ Sun Fabric |
| Decoration | Placement Printing |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around UPF 50+ Sun Fabric and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Placement 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% 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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
