Elevated Eco-Friendly Wetsuit in Organza with Draped Neckline
A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a elevated eco-friendly wetsuit around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Mexico 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Organza was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The eco-friendly wetsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a University Athletic Department 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.
