Sculptural Purple Girls Swimsuit in Velvet with Chunky Chain Strap
Sculptural Purple Girls Swimsuit in Velvet with Chunky Chain Strap
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a sculptural purple girls swimsuit around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Israel 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet 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.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
