Vintage-Inspired Fashion Leisure Sports Wear in Vegan Leather with Gathered Sleeves

Vintage-Inspired Fashion Leisure Sports Wear in Vegan Leather with Gathered Sleeves

A Construction Firm approached us to develop a vintage-inspired fashion leisure sports wear around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Qatar 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The fashion leisure sports wear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Construction Firm 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.
