Runway-Inspired Womens Vest in Sequined Knit with Lace Inset
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a runway-inspired womens vest around a single idea: lace inset, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Qatar and needed runway-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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The womens vest was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
