Designer Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Merino Wool with Sculptural Draping

Designer Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Merino Wool with Sculptural Draping

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a designer upf protection modest swimwear around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed designer 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
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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 upf protection modest swimwear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Sculptural Draping 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 2.0% 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.
