Minimalist Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Merino Wool with Feather Trim

Minimalist Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Merino Wool with Feather Trim

A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a minimalist upf protection modest swimwear around a single idea: feather trim, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for China and needed minimalist 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

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. Feather Trim 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Yoga Retreat Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
