Melton Wool Fabric for a Bridal Studio in Czechia
A Bridal Studio approached us with a melton wool 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
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
- A zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
What we specified
| Item | Melton Wool Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | Czechia |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Cotton |
| Standard size | 110 gsm |
| Finish | Black Nickel Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | California Prop 65 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Cotton and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Antique Brass Plating 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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
Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
