Contemporary Sweater Rib Cuff in Tencel with Chunky Chain Strap
A Film Production House approached us to develop a contemporary sweater rib cuff around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Belgium 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The sweater rib cuff was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Film Production House launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
