Capsule Custom Family Sweatshirts in Sequined Knit with Crystal Embellishment

Capsule Custom Family Sweatshirts in Sequined Knit with Crystal Embellishment

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a capsule custom family sweatshirts around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed capsule 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• 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. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The custom family sweatshirts was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Crystal Embellishment 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

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
