Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Vegan Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing

Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Vegan Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a modern plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed modern 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size competition swimsuits was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
