Zero-tolerance quality bar — 47-point inspection per piece
The challenge
A Japanese lifestyle brand known for obsessive quality standards had rejected 3 factories over stitching tolerances of 2mm. Their retail price point (¥8,000+) allowed no visible defects whatsoever.
Our solution
We built a dedicated 47-point inspection checklist with their merchandiser, including stitch-density counts, seam-alignment measurement, and fabric hand-feel panels. Every carton ships with photo documentation of the inspection batch.
