Bohemian Silk Blouse in Crochet with Chunky Chain Strap
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a bohemian silk blouse around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Vietnam and needed bohemian 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The silk blouse was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Fast-Growing Startup Label launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
