Minimalist Lace Underpants in Genuine Leather with Padded Shoulder
Minimalist Lace Underpants in Genuine Leather with Padded Shoulder
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a minimalist lace underpants around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Singapore 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- The lace underpants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
