Designer Marine Layer Women Pullover Hoodie in Merino Wool with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Designer Marine Layer Women Pullover Hoodie in Merino Wool with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a designer marine layer women pullover hoodie around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed designer 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
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The marine layer women pullover hoodie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Marathon Organizer 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.
