Why they chose Raspberry
To streamline the conception phase of their product development cycle

Background

A global fashion brand struggled with lengthy design timelines and slow decision-making around embroidery and embellishments. Designers spent weeks iterating and months waiting on physical samples before reaching alignment.

It used to take us three months to get embroidery samples and make decisions on exact design. Now we get an instant view and decide within minutes.”

The Challenge

1. Manual research and iteration

Inspiration gathering and sketch refinement were slow, delaying the design timeline.

2. Limited visibility early in the process

Without clear previews, designers couldn’t make confident decisions around embellishments or embroidery.

3. Sampling inefficiency

Multiple physical prototypes were needed before reaching approval, often taking months.

The Raspberry Difference

With Raspberry AI, the brand reimagined its early design phases. Tools like Sketch-to-Render, Image Mix, and Prints, Patterns & Graphics provided instant clarity on creative decisions—especially for detailed design work like embroidery.

Designers now:

  • Preview embellishments and prints in minutes
  • Reduce unnecessary sampling and cut production waste
  • Accelerate alignment between design and product teams

The Results

  • Sampling rounds reduced from four to one
  • Faster approvals led to a 50% improvement in first-time-right samples
  • Internal demand grew organically, 4x more designers adopted Raspberry after the initial pilot

Raspberry empowered the team to visualize with precision, iterate confidently, and cut weeks from the product development cycle.

“With our old processes, it was hard to show what we were doing. It was time-consuming, costly, and not everyone had the time or skill to adopt traditional tools effectively.”
