Vintage-Inspired Lace Underpants in Ribbed Jersey with Contrast Topstitching
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a vintage-inspired lace underpants around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Vietnam and needed vintage-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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- Contrast Topstitching was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.

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