Editorial Wool Coats in Crochet with Draped Neckline
A Hotel Group approached us to develop a editorial wool coats around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed editorial 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.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The wool coats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hotel Group 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.
