Luxe Wedding Shawl in boucle with Gathered Sleeves
Luxe Wedding Shawl in boucle with Gathered Sleeves
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a luxe wedding shawl around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed luxe 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The wedding shawl was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Influencer-Led Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
