Sculptural Maternity Compression Stockings in Satin with Asymmetric Closure

Sculptural Maternity Compression Stockings in Satin with Asymmetric Closure

A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a sculptural maternity compression stockings around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed sculptural 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 sample did not match the runway reference
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Satin 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. Asymmetric Closure 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Marathon Organizer 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.
