Modern Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Suede with Waist Tie Belt
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a modern crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed modern 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

- The crochet cardigan sweater for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt 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

- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
