Modern Kids' Classic Denim Trucker in Vegan Leather with Tonal Embroidery
Modern Kids' Classic Denim Trucker in Vegan Leather with Tonal Embroidery
A Restaurant Chain approached us to develop a modern kids' classic denim trucker around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed modern 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 kids' classic denim trucker was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Tonal Embroidery 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Restaurant Chain 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.
