Sculptural Small Suit Women Fashion in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Sculptural Small Suit Women Fashion in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a sculptural small suit women fashion around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Italy 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• 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. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The small suit women fashion was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
