Soft Knit Baby Ensemble for a Pet Grooming Franchise in Saudi Arabia
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us with a soft knit baby ensemble 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
What we specified
| Product | Soft Knit Baby Ensemble |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Pet Grooming Franchise |
| Market | Saudi Arabia |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Ripstop Nylon |
| Decoration | Acid Wash |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Ripstop Nylon and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Acid Wash 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
