Editorial Cotton Bathrobe in Genuine Leather with Contrast Topstitching
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a editorial cotton bathrobe around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Indonesia and needed editorial 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- 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.
- Genuine Leather 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.
- 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.
Result
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group 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.
