Luxe High Underwear in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail
Luxe High Underwear in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a luxe high underwear around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed luxe 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- 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 high underwear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Cut-Out Detail 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer 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.
