Bohemian Sleeping Bonnet in Metallic Thread with Tonal Embroidery
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a bohemian sleeping bonnet around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for New Zealand 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- 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 sleeping bonnet 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Ski Resort 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.
