Tailored Medieval Waist Belt in Crochet with Lace Inset
Tailored Medieval Waist Belt in Crochet with Lace Inset
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a tailored medieval waist belt around a single idea: lace inset, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Israel and needed tailored 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The medieval waist belt was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
