Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in Cashmere with Gathered Sleeves
Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in Cashmere with Gathered Sleeves
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a vintage-inspired striped sweaters for women around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Brazil 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

- The striped sweaters for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
