Capsule Swimwear Men Board Short in Velvet with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Beauty Salon Chain approached us to develop a capsule swimwear men board short around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed capsule 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.
- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The swimwear men board short was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Beauty Salon Chain 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.
