Boutique Thong Competition Swimsuit in boucle with Delicate Pleating
A Surf School approached us to develop a boutique thong competition swimsuit around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Morocco 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The thong competition swimsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School 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.
