CLIENT
MIRTH
THE OPPORTUNITY
MIRTH had built a brand rooted in artisan craftsmanship and a deeply loyal following — but the infrastructure behind the product hadn't kept pace. Inconsistent workflows, fit and grading irregularities, and unclear supplier communication were creating unpredictability throughout the product lifecycle, with the weight and costly missteps falling directly on the founder.
ADELIER’S ROLE
A full operational audit, followed by new development and production systems, standardized fit and grading, improved supplier relationships, support hiring MIRTH's first full-time designer, and imbedded consulting on retainer. ADELIER also helped expand the brand's knitwear category through artisan partnerships in Peru — all while preserving the creative, heritage-driven concepts at the heart of the brand.
THE OUTCOME
Increased sell-through, reduced return rates, fewer sampling rounds, stronger supplier relationships, and consistent year-over-year growth.
