Elevated Stretchy Knit Swaddle in Crochet with Crystal Embellishment
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a elevated stretchy knit swaddle around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Singapore and needed elevated 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The stretchy knit swaddle was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Crystal Embellishment 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 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
