Editorial Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Cupro with Chunky Chain Strap

Editorial Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Cupro with Chunky Chain Strap

A Manufacturing Plant approached us to develop a editorial adjustable kids' mannequin around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed editorial 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

• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The adjustable kids' mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Chunky Chain Strap was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Manufacturing Plant launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
