Sculptural Wedding Shawl in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a sculptural wedding shawl around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed sculptural 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- The wedding shawl was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
