Luxe Inside Boys Swim Trunk in Tulle with Crystal Embellishment
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a luxe inside boys swim trunk around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
