Sculptural Silk Flower Brooches in Metallic Thread with Asymmetric Closure
Sculptural Silk Flower Brooches in Metallic Thread with Asymmetric Closure
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a sculptural silk flower brooches around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for India and needed sculptural 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- 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.
- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The silk flower brooches was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Asymmetric Closure 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Airline Catering Team launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
