Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail

Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in Crochet with Cut-Out Detail

A Government Agency approached us to develop a vintage-inspired striped sweaters for women around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed vintage-inspired 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The sample did not match the runway reference

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 striped sweaters for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Cut-Out Detail 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Government Agency 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.
