Chic Maternity Compression Stockings in Metallic Thread with Open Back
A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a chic maternity compression stockings around a single idea: open back, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for New Zealand 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- Open Back was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
