Capsule Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Capsule Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a capsule muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Finland 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The muslin swaddle blanket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Military Supply Unit 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.
