Avant-Garde Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Vegan Leather with Lace Inset
Avant-Garde Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Vegan Leather with Lace Inset
An Event Management Company approached us to develop a avant-garde elegant long sleeve blouses around a single idea: lace inset, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed avant-garde 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

- The elegant long sleeve blouses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The an Event Management Company 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.
