Chic Summer Fedora Hats in Tencel with Lace Inset
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a chic summer fedora hats around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed chic 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The summer fedora hats 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

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group 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.
