Avant-Garde Toddler Display Form in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

Avant-Garde Toddler Display Form in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a avant-garde toddler display form around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed avant-garde 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 sample did not match the runway reference
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The toddler display form was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a University Athletic Department launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

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