Elevated Summer Maxi Dress in Merino Wool with Monogram Hardware
A Promotional Products Company approached us to develop a elevated summer maxi dress around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for France and needed elevated 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The summer maxi dress was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Promotional Products Company 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.
