Romantic Men'S Straw Sun Hat in Ribbed Jersey with Bow Detail
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a romantic men's straw sun hat around a single idea: bow detail, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed romantic 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
