Modern Cropped Denim Dungarees in Tencel with Gathered Sleeves
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a modern cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for the United Arab Emirates and needed modern 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
