Organza Fabric for a Sportswear Brand in Switzerland
A Sportswear Brand approached us with a organza fabric requirement for the Switzerland 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 zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
What we specified
| Item | Organza Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Sportswear Brand |
| Market | Switzerland |
| Order volume | 100,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Copper |
| Standard size | 140 gsm |
| Finish | Rose Gold Plating |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | AATCC Test Methods |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Copper and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Laser Engraved 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
- 100,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-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
Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
