Elevated Cropped Denim Dungarees in Suede with Delicate Pleating
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a elevated cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed elevated 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Suede 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.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marathon Organizer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
