Parisian Summer Fedora Hats in Mohair with Waist Tie Belt
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a parisian summer fedora hats around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for China and needed parisian 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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