Romantic Cropped Denim Dungarees in Velvet with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a romantic cropped denim dungarees around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed romantic 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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