Avant-Garde Halloween Witch Hat in Velvet with High-Low Hem
Avant-Garde Halloween Witch Hat in Velvet with High-Low Hem
A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a avant-garde halloween witch hat around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed avant-garde 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The halloween witch hat 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Military Supply Unit 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.
