Elevated Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Metallic Thread with Fringe Trim

Elevated Upf Protection Modest Swimwear in Metallic Thread with Fringe Trim

A Cycling Team approached us to develop a elevated upf protection modest swimwear around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed elevated 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
• 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. Metallic Thread 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. Fringe 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

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Cycling Team 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.
