Cropped Denim Dungarees for a Corporate Procurement Team in Singapore
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us with a cropped denim dungarees requirement for Singapore. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
What we specified
| Product | Cropped Denim Dungarees |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Corporate Procurement Team |
| Market | Singapore |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Pima Cotton |
| Decoration | Woven Label |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Pima Cotton and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Woven Label after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.
Result
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
