Runway-Inspired Inside Boys Swim Trunk in Sequined Knit with Raw-Edge Detailing

Runway-Inspired Inside Boys Swim Trunk in Sequined Knit with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a runway-inspired inside boys swim trunk around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Norway 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The inside boys swim trunk was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Corporate Procurement Team 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.
