Designer Kids Aviator Hat in Velvet with Covered Buttons
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a designer kids aviator hat around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed designer 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The kids aviator hat was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.

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