Contemporary Two-Tone Flip Sequins in Merino Wool with Crystal Embellishment

Contemporary Two-Tone Flip Sequins in Merino Wool with Crystal Embellishment

An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a contemporary two-tone flip sequins around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for China and needed contemporary 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
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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 two-tone flip sequins 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Fashion Designer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
