Romantic Knit Cardigan in Merino Wool with Waist Tie Belt
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a romantic knit cardigan around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed romantic 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The knit cardigan was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Uniform Supplier 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.
