Modern Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Cupro with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Modern Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Cupro with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a modern swim shorts girls swimsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed modern 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The swim shorts girls swimsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
