Sculptural Cropped Denim Dungarees in Velvet with Padded Shoulder
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a sculptural cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Canada and needed sculptural 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cropped denim dungarees was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
