Designer Lace Underpants in Crochet with Draped Neckline
Designer Lace Underpants in Crochet with Draped Neckline
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a designer lace underpants around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Mexico 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
