Effortless Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Tencel with Gathered Sleeves
A Mining Company approached us to develop a effortless crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Denmark and needed effortless 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
