Avant-Garde Purple Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Delicate Pleating
Avant-Garde Purple Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Delicate Pleating
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a avant-garde purple girls swimsuit around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed avant-garde 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- 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.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The purple girls swimsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marketing Agency 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.
