Runway-Inspired High Underwear in Satin with Open Back
A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a runway-inspired high underwear around a single idea: open back, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed runway-inspired 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
- 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 high underwear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
