Romantic Neoprene Surfing Wetsuit in Metallic Thread with Tonal Embroidery
Romantic Neoprene Surfing Wetsuit in Metallic Thread with Tonal Embroidery
A Restaurant Chain approached us to develop a romantic neoprene surfing wetsuit around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for India 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The neoprene surfing wetsuit 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Restaurant 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.
