Luxe Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Genuine Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing
Luxe Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Genuine Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Beauty Salon Chain approached us to develop a luxe crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed luxe 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- The crochet cardigan sweater for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Beauty Salon Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
