Chic Layering Sleeveless Shell Blouse in Genuine Leather with Hand-Finished Hem

Chic Layering Sleeveless Shell Blouse in Genuine Leather with Hand-Finished Hem

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a chic layering sleeveless shell blouse around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed chic 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• 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. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The layering sleeveless shell blouse was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Hand-Finished Hem 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
