Luxe Latex Swimming Cap in Velvet with Covered Buttons
Luxe Latex Swimming Cap in Velvet with Covered Buttons
A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a luxe latex swimming cap around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed luxe 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The latex swimming cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Trade Show Exhibitor 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.
