Effortless Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Effortless Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Professional Sports Club approached us to develop a effortless short sleeve women t shirts around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed effortless 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- The short sleeve women t shirts was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Professional Sports Club 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.
