Capsule Medieval Waist Belt in Cashmere with Raw-Edge Detailing
Capsule Medieval Waist Belt in Cashmere with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a capsule medieval waist belt around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Qatar and needed capsule 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cashmere 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.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
