Parisian Kids Aviator Hat in Tencel with Waist Tie Belt
A Mining Company approached us to develop a parisian kids aviator hat around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed parisian 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

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