Luxe Unisex Outdoor Cap in Tulle with Waist Tie Belt
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a luxe unisex outdoor cap around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed luxe 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
