Vintage-Inspired Viking Belt Accessories in Cashmere with Raw-Edge Detailing

Vintage-Inspired Viking Belt Accessories in Cashmere with Raw-Edge Detailing

An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a vintage-inspired viking belt accessories around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed vintage-inspired 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The viking belt accessories was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Airline Catering Team 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.
