Elevated Inside Boys Swim Trunk in Crochet with Gathered Sleeves
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a elevated inside boys swim trunk around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed elevated 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

- Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
