Designer Tote Bag in Sequined Knit with Open Back
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a designer tote bag around a single idea: open back, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed designer 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The tote bag 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Pet Grooming Franchise launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
