Avant-Garde Sublimation Soccer Wear in boucle with Lace Inset
Avant-Garde Sublimation Soccer Wear in boucle with Lace Inset
A Golf Club approached us to develop a avant-garde sublimation soccer wear around a single idea: lace inset, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed avant-garde 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
- 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.
- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The sublimation soccer wear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Golf Club 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.
