Effortless Swimwear Men Board Short in Crochet with Fringe Trim
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a effortless swimwear men board short around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for India and needed effortless 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
