Jacquard Fabric for a Lingerie Specialist in Czechia
A Lingerie Specialist approached us with a jacquard fabric requirement for the Czechia market. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive freight and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
- Shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot
What we specified
| Item | Jacquard Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Lingerie Specialist |
| Market | Czechia |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Brass |
| Standard size | 210 gsm |
| Finish | Antique Copper Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | Sedex SMETA |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Brass and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Mercerised Finish after strike-off tests showed better durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.
Result
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample made from the actual bulk base material. Substitute material behaves differently in finishing.
