Minimalist Joma Training Wear in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Minimalist Joma Training Wear in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a minimalist joma training wear around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed minimalist 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The joma training wear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marathon Organizer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
