Vintage-Inspired White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Merino Wool with Open Back

Vintage-Inspired White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Merino Wool with Open Back

A Golf Club approached us to develop a vintage-inspired white long sleeve blouse with collar around a single idea: open back, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Germany 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The white long sleeve blouse with collar was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Open Back was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Golf Club 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.
