Differentiation Strategy
Achieves a value price point by using a more cost-effective nylon/spandex blend with a lower spandex percentage.
Simplifies the design significantly by removing the silver O-ring hardware and keyhole detail, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
Employs bonded seams as a cost-effective alternative to the raw-cut edges of the reference product.
Positions the product as an essential, everyday basic rather than a luxury fashion piece, appealing to a broader, more price-conscious market.
Success Replication
Retains the trendy V-string silhouette that is popular with consumers.
Keeps the low-rise cut, which is a key feature of the Y2K-inspired trend.
Maintains the promise of a 'seamless' look by using bonded edges, ensuring it lays flat under clothing.
Utilizes a microfiber jersey fabric to offer a similar smooth and soft hand-feel.
