Boutique Satin Night Robe in Ribbed Jersey with Padded Shoulder
Boutique Satin Night Robe in Ribbed Jersey with Padded Shoulder
A Surf School approached us to develop a boutique satin night robe around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Vietnam and needed boutique 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The satin night robe was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
