Tailored Silk Bonnet in Sequined Knit with Crystal Embellishment
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a tailored silk bonnet around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Colombia and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The silk bonnet was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Crystal Embellishment 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marketing Agency 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.
