Luxe Sweater Rib Cuff in Suede with Covered Buttons
Luxe Sweater Rib Cuff in Suede with Covered Buttons
A Manufacturing Plant approached us to develop a luxe sweater rib cuff around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed luxe 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 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.
- Suede 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.
- Covered Buttons 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Manufacturing Plant 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.
