Boutique Volleyball Compression Pants in Washed Linen with Covered Buttons
Boutique Volleyball Compression Pants in Washed Linen with Covered Buttons
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a boutique volleyball compression pants around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for China and needed boutique 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The volleyball compression pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Coffee Roaster Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
