Designer Swimwear Men Board Short in Metallic Thread with Crystal Embellishment

Designer Swimwear Men Board Short in Metallic Thread with Crystal Embellishment

An Event Management Company approached us to develop a designer swimwear men board short around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Belgium 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The swimwear men board short was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Crystal Embellishment was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Event Management Company 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.
