Chic Maternity Compression Stockings in Metallic Thread with Covered Buttons

Chic Maternity Compression Stockings in Metallic Thread with Covered Buttons

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a chic maternity compression stockings around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed chic 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread 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. Covered 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
