Contemporary Girls Equestrian Clothing in Sequined Knit with Feather Trim

Contemporary Girls Equestrian Clothing in Sequined Knit with Feather Trim

A Wholesale Distributor approached us to develop a contemporary girls equestrian clothing around a single idea: feather trim, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed contemporary 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The girls equestrian clothing was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Feather Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Wholesale Distributor 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.
