Romantic Quick Dry Surf Rash Guard in Mohair with Gathered Sleeves
A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a romantic quick dry surf rash guard around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Indonesia and needed romantic 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference

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