Minimalist Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Cashmere with Cut-Out Detail

Minimalist Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Cashmere with Cut-Out Detail

A Promotional Products Company approached us to develop a minimalist plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed minimalist 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Cut-Out 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Promotional Products Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
