Capsule Convertible Bra in Tencel with Lace Inset
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a capsule convertible bra around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed capsule 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The convertible bra was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Nonprofit Organization launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
