Minimalist Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Washed Linen with Crystal Embellishment
Minimalist Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Washed Linen with Crystal Embellishment
A Beauty Salon Chain approached us to develop a minimalist adjustable kids' mannequin around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed minimalist finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The adjustable kids' mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Crystal Embellishment was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Beauty Salon Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
