Contemporary Lace Underpants in Satin with Raw-Edge Detailing
Contemporary Lace Underpants in Satin with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Surf School approached us to develop a contemporary lace underpants around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for India and needed contemporary 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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