Romantic Knitting Baby Socks in Cashmere with Asymmetric Closure
Romantic Knitting Baby Socks in Cashmere with Asymmetric Closure
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a romantic knitting baby socks around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for China and needed romantic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

- Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The knitting baby socks was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Asymmetric Closure was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

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