Parisian Lace Underpants in Cupro with Tonal Embroidery
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a parisian lace underpants around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for France 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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