Modern Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Crochet with Crystal Embellishment
Modern Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Crochet with Crystal Embellishment
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a modern elegant long sleeve blouses around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed modern 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
