Denim Fabric for a Bridal Studio in Qatar
A Bridal Studio approached us with a denim fabric requirement for the Qatar 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
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
- A spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack
- MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style
What we specified
| Item | Denim Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | Qatar |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 6 specifications |
| Base material | Iron |
| Standard size | 80 gsm |
| Finish | Black Nickel Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | Sedex SMETA |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Iron and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Piece-Dyed 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the material standard before sampling. Once the base changes, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
