Bohemian Silk Flower Brooches in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

Bohemian Silk Flower Brooches in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a bohemian silk flower brooches around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Australia and needed bohemian 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The silk flower brooches was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
