Vintage-Inspired White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Washed Linen with Monogram Hardware
Vintage-Inspired White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Washed Linen with Monogram Hardware
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a vintage-inspired white long sleeve blouse with collar around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Austria 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The white long sleeve blouse with collar was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Corporate Procurement 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.
