Bohemian Latex Swimming Cap in Tulle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Bohemian Latex Swimming Cap in Tulle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Manufacturing Plant approached us to develop a bohemian latex swimming cap around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Malaysia 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Tulle 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.
- Mother-of-Pearl 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Manufacturing Plant 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.
