Luxe Blue Necktie in Mohair with Contrast Topstitching
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a luxe blue necktie around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed luxe 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The blue necktie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Contrast Topstitching was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
