Effortless Unisex Outdoor Cap in Sequined Knit with Lace Inset
Effortless Unisex Outdoor Cap in Sequined Knit with Lace Inset
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a effortless unisex outdoor cap around a single idea: lace inset, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed effortless 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
