Bohemian Lace Underpants in Tulle with Waist Tie Belt
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a bohemian lace underpants around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed bohemian 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference

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