Elevated Cute Baseball Caps in boucle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Elevated Cute Baseball Caps in boucle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a elevated cute baseball caps around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed elevated 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cute baseball caps was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Coffee Roaster Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
