Sculptural Latex Swimming Cap in boucle with Covered Buttons
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a sculptural latex swimming cap around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed sculptural 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- 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.
- boucle 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
