Avant-Garde Womens Underpants in Merino Wool with Contrast Topstitching
A Surf School approached us to develop a avant-garde womens underpants around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Belgium and needed avant-garde 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 womens underpants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Contrast Topstitching 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School 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.
