Boutique Pleated Skirt in Organic Denim with Open Back
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a boutique pleated skirt around a single idea: open back, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Ukraine and needed boutique 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organic Denim was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The pleated skirt was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
