Vintage-Inspired Saree Girls Blouses in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a vintage-inspired saree girls blouses around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed vintage-inspired 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
