Effortless Latex Swimming Cap in Mohair with Asymmetric Closure
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a effortless latex swimming cap around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed effortless 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference

- The latex swimming cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Asymmetric Closure 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
