Parisian Latex Swimming Cap in Ribbed Jersey with Chunky Chain Strap
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a parisian latex swimming cap around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for France and needed parisian 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey 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.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Airline Catering Team 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.
