Contemporary Striped Sweaters For Women in Tencel with Draped Neckline

A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a contemporary striped sweaters for women around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed contemporary 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
• 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. Tencel 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. Draped Neckline 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Maternity Wear Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
