Contemporary Unisex Outdoor Cap in Tencel with Covered Buttons
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a contemporary unisex outdoor cap around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Norway 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The unisex outdoor cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons 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

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
