Runway-Inspired Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Runway-Inspired Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a runway-inspired swim shorts girls swimsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for China and needed runway-inspired 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Crochet 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marketing Agency 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.
