Bohemian Maternity Compression Stockings in Merino Wool with Draped Neckline

Bohemian Maternity Compression Stockings in Merino Wool with Draped Neckline

An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a bohemian maternity compression stockings around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Portugal 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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 maternity compression stockings was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Draped Neckline 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Influencer-Led Brand 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.
