Editorial Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in boucle with High-Low Hem
Editorial Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in boucle with High-Low Hem
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a editorial elegant long sleeve blouses around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed editorial 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The elegant long sleeve blouses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Boutique Brand 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.
