Case Study: Lise Charmel achieves efficient, accurate cost control with Lectra technology

Lise Charmel Achieves Efficient Accurate Cost Control

Lise Charmel, a Lyon‑based luxury lingerie maker renowned for intricate embroidery and scalloped lace, faced the challenge of tightly controlling costs and minimizing fabric waste. High‑value decorative bands and complex piece placement made early, accurate estimates of lace and fabric consumption difficult, risking excess material use and higher production costs.

By deploying Lectra solutions (Kaledo, Modaris, Diamino) and a visual pre‑costing process—scanning fabrics and virtually placing pattern pieces on lace—teams can reliably simulate consumption, prepare markers onscreen, and share precise technical data across departments. The new workflow delivered faster, more accurate pre‑costing and marker making, reduced material waste, improved usability and interdepartmental communication, and significant time savings.
