Romantic Grey Beanie in Satin with High-Low Hem
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a romantic grey beanie around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Thailand 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Satin was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The grey beanie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Railway Operator launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
