Statement Rhinestone Embellished Chains in Silk with High-Low Hem

A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a statement rhinestone embellished chains around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed statement 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The rhinestone embellished chains was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. High-Low Hem 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
