Statement Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Genuine Leather with Asymmetric Closure

Statement Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Genuine Leather with Asymmetric Closure

A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a statement crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Czechia and needed statement 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The crochet cardigan sweater for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Asymmetric Closure was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
