Boutique Tailored Denim Suit in Merino Wool with Bow Detail
Boutique Tailored Denim Suit in Merino Wool with Bow Detail
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a boutique tailored denim suit around a single idea: bow detail, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed boutique 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
