Romantic Grey Beanie in Vegan Leather with Waist Tie Belt
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a romantic grey beanie around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for India 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The grey beanie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
