Editorial Kids' Classic Denim Trucker in Genuine Leather with Open Back
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a editorial kids' classic denim trucker around a single idea: open back, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for France and needed editorial 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The kids' classic denim trucker 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer 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.
