Our customer VAI swim is a high-end, sustainable swimwear brand made in the U.S.A. with a reputation for sophistication, timeless style, and quality.

VAI SWIM

  • VAI swim is a high-end, sustainable swimwear brand made in the U.S.A. with a reputation for sophistication, timeless style, and quality. VAI partnered with the CMT Studio for design, tech packs, product development, and design & marketing consultation to build and launch the brand and drive sales.

  • The CMT Studio collaborated with VAI to develop a brand from concept to finished product. Our goal was to establish a contemporary, sustainable swimwear brand with a minimalistic aesthetic using Italian fabrics. The VAI team needed help with creative direction and design as well as developing technical sketches, CADs, and accurate tech packs. Additionally, finding fabric suppliers and manufacturers proved to be a major challenge. Our goal was to source and provide quality product development and fit services to overcome these obstacles for a successful launch of their first collection. We also offered guidance to ensure that all other elements needed for a direct-to-consumer launch were in place including e-commerce and social media strategies.

  • In 2023, VAI is in its third year of business. With the assistance of our experienced team, we were able to launch the brand and help develop multiple collections of beautifully made swimsuits that have a great fit. Using our network, VAI has created positive relationships with a NY manufacturer and an Italian fabric supplier to create ongoing collections.

Our customer Ochie is a high-end, resort wear brand that celebrates the Caribbean resort style using natural and sustainable fabrics.

OCHIE

  • Ochie is a high-end, resort wear brand that celebrates the Caribbean resort style using natural and sustainable fabrics. Ochie had originally collaborated with CMT Studio for design services for a presentation needed for their potential buyer’s meeting with Victoria’s Secret. Afterward, they continued to partner with our team on product expansion and development, design, tech packs, & design consultation to grow their business.

  • The Ochie team first worked with us to create a memorable and impressive presentation for Victoria’s Secret. We decided to incorporate 3-D animation to make the presentation stand out from the other competitors being considered. Apart from needing assistance with swimwear, the team also wanted to explore expanding their Resortwear product offering. Being a new category for the brand, our professional expertise and network was vital in sourcing fabrics, making patterns and samples, and conducting fittings.

  • Ochie secured an order and collaborated with Victoria’s Secret, becoming one of the exclusive brands sold on their website. The expansion into resort wear was well received, further elevating the brand and allowing for an increase in revenue. In addition, our team helped to foster collaboration between the brand and Vogue Mexico. Ochie Swim has participated in Vogue Mexico’s pop-up shop Espacio Vogue and partnered with them to host a cocktail launch event at the prestigious Baccarat.
