Runway-Inspired Transparent Button in Cashmere with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a runway-inspired transparent button around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed runway-inspired 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The transparent button was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Private Clinic 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.
