Chic Cropped Denim Dungarees in Metallic Thread with Fringe Trim
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a chic cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed chic 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread 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.
- Fringe Trim 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
