Vintage-Inspired Belt Clips in Organic Denim with Feather Trim
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a vintage-inspired belt clips around a single idea: feather trim, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed vintage-inspired finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
