Elevated Old Fashioned Swimming Cap in Genuine Leather with Chunky Chain Strap

Elevated Old Fashioned Swimming Cap in Genuine Leather with Chunky Chain Strap

An Event Management Company approached us to develop a elevated old fashioned swimming cap around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Argentina and needed elevated 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• 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. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The old fashioned swimming cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Chunky Chain Strap 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 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Event Management Company 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.
