Sculptural Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in boucle with Covered Buttons

A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a sculptural upf protection modest swimwear around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed sculptural 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
• 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. boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The upf protection modest swimwear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Covered Buttons 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Coffee Roaster Chain 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.
