Minimalist Spaghetti Strap Tank Top in Metallic Thread with Hand-Finished Hem

Minimalist Spaghetti Strap Tank Top in Metallic Thread with Hand-Finished Hem

A Cycling Team approached us to develop a minimalist spaghetti strap tank top around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed minimalist 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The spaghetti strap tank top was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Hand-Finished Hem 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Cycling Team 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.
