Luxe Carhartt Beanie in Organic Denim with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a luxe carhartt beanie around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organic Denim was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The carhartt beanie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio 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.
