Designer Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Cupro with Gathered Sleeves
Designer Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Cupro with Gathered Sleeves
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a designer swim shorts girls swimsuit around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed designer 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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.
- Gathered Sleeves 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 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
