Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in boucle with Waist Tie Belt
Vintage-Inspired Striped Sweaters For Women in boucle with Waist Tie Belt
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a vintage-inspired striped sweaters for women around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for France 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
