Runway-Inspired Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Runway-Inspired Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a runway-inspired muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Denmark and needed runway-inspired 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

• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cashmere 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

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
