Luxe Wedding Shawl in Merino Wool with Covered Buttons
Luxe Wedding Shawl in Merino Wool with Covered Buttons
A Security Company approached us to develop a luxe wedding shawl around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Canada 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

| Market | Canada |
| Order volume | 600 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base material | Merino Wool |
| Signature detail | Covered Buttons |

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Merino Wool 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.
- 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Security Company 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.
