Tailored Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Velvet with Asymmetric Closure
Tailored Adjustable Kids' Mannequin in Velvet with Asymmetric Closure
A Mining Company approached us to develop a tailored adjustable kids' mannequin around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed tailored 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet 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.
- Asymmetric Closure 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Mining Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
