Romantic Stretchy Knit Swaddle in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery
Romantic Stretchy Knit Swaddle in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery
A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a romantic stretchy knit swaddle around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Qatar and needed romantic 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cashmere 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.
- 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
