Statement Eco-Friendly Wetsuit in Crochet with Draped Neckline
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a statement eco-friendly wetsuit around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Singapore 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Airline Catering Team 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.
