Luxe Soft Knit Baby Ensemble in Mohair with Hand-Finished Hem
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a luxe soft knit baby ensemble around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed luxe 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The soft knit baby ensemble 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Ski Resort 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.
