Sculptural Cropped Denim Dungarees in Genuine Leather with Delicate Pleating

Sculptural Cropped Denim Dungarees in Genuine Leather with Delicate Pleating

A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a sculptural cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Czechia 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The cropped denim dungarees was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Delicate Pleating was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 1,500 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

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
