Differentiation Strategy

To appeal to the value-oriented market, this product uses cost-effective materials like cotton/polyester or wool/acrylic blends. The use of cut-and-sew manufacturing reduces production costs, making the final product more affordable. The care instructions are simplified to machine-washable, adding a layer of convenience for the customer. This approach allows brands to offer a trendy style without the high price tag of premium materials.

Success Replication

This strategy focuses on retaining the key design elements that made the original popular. The derivative product keeps the trendy oversized "cocoon" silhouette, offering a comfortable and relaxed fit. It also maintains the versatile V-neck and button-front design, making it easy to style in multiple ways. By offering a similar aesthetic at a lower price, it appeals to a broader audience.
