Chic Beaded Flower Motifs in Metallic Thread with Hand-Finished Hem
A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a chic beaded flower motifs around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed chic finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
