Runway-Inspired Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Suede with Tonal Embroidery
Runway-Inspired Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Suede with Tonal Embroidery
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a runway-inspired muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Egypt 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Suede 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.
- Tonal Embroidery 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Gym Chain 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.
