Elevated Silk Bonnet in Sequined Knit with Chunky Chain Strap
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a elevated silk bonnet around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed elevated 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Gym Chain 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.
