Tailored Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Metallic Thread with Hand-Finished Hem
Tailored Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Metallic Thread with Hand-Finished Hem
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a tailored elegant long sleeve blouses around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed tailored 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we would repeat
