Vintage-Inspired Belt Clips in Metallic Thread with High-Low Hem
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a vintage-inspired belt clips around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed vintage-inspired 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The belt clips was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group 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.
