Sculptural Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in Metallic Thread with Bow Detail

Sculptural Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in Metallic Thread with Bow Detail

A Promotional Products Company approached us to develop a sculptural pinnable half body mannequin around a single idea: bow detail, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed sculptural 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The pinnable half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Bow Detail 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 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Promotional Products Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
