Tailored Beaded Flower Motifs in Mohair with Sculptural Draping
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a tailored beaded flower motifs around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Australia 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The beaded flower motifs was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Gym 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.
