The Challenge

Xena Workwear, a women-led workwear brand, needed a custom blazer with very specific fabric weight and stretch — plus matching hardware — that no off-the-shelf mill was offering.

02

Our Solution

We sourced specialty knit fabric and hardware from our network in India, worked hand-in-hand with a Chicago-based designer through pattern and fit iterations, and ran production in-house.

03

The Results

Xena shipped the blazer their customers had been asking for. What started as a one-off project has since become an ongoing partnership for additional professional pieces.
