Vintage-Inspired Silk Flower Brooches in Satin with Hand-Finished Hem
Vintage-Inspired Silk Flower Brooches in Satin with Hand-Finished Hem
A Professional Sports Club approached us to develop a vintage-inspired silk flower brooches around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Argentina and needed vintage-inspired 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
- 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.
- Hand-Finished Hem 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
