Tailored Beaded Flower Motifs in Satin with Open Back
Tailored Beaded Flower Motifs in Satin with Open Back
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a tailored beaded flower motifs around a single idea: open back, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for New Zealand 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Satin 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.
- Open Back 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
