Romantic Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Merino Wool with Lace Inset
Romantic Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Merino Wool with Lace Inset
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a romantic crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: lace inset, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed romantic 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
