Contemporary Cotton Bathrobe in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a contemporary cotton bathrobe around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed contemporary 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cotton bathrobe 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.
Result
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
