Luxe Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Tulle with Hand-Finished Hem
Luxe Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Tulle with Hand-Finished Hem
A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a luxe crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Japan 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tulle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The crochet cardigan sweater for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Hand-Finished Hem 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Trade Show Exhibitor launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
