Guipure Lace for a Yacht Interior Studio in Peru
A Yacht Interior Studio approached us with a guipure lace requirement for the Peru 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
- A spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
- Shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash
What we specified
| Item | Guipure Lace |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Yacht Interior Studio |
| Market | Peru |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Nylon |
| Standard size | 8# Gauge |
| Finish | Nickel-Free Electroplating |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 4 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | REACH SVHC Screening |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Nylon 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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.
