Vintage-Inspired Embroidered Girls Denim in Washed Linen with High-Low Hem
Vintage-Inspired Embroidered Girls Denim in Washed Linen with High-Low Hem
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a vintage-inspired embroidered girls denim around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed vintage-inspired 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The embroidered girls denim was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marathon Organizer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
