Avant-Garde Silk Flower Brooches in Satin with Tonal Embroidery
A Cycling Team approached us to develop a avant-garde silk flower brooches around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed avant-garde 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Satin 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.
- Tonal Embroidery 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cycling Team 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.
