Modern Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Merino Wool with Monogram Hardware
Modern Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Merino Wool with Monogram Hardware
A Dance School approached us to develop a modern muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed modern 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The muslin swaddle blanket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 Dance School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
