Designer Elegant Wedding Dresses in Crochet with Tonal Embroidery
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a designer elegant wedding dresses around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed designer 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
