Runway-Inspired Low Cut Tank Top in Vegan Leather with Tonal Embroidery
Runway-Inspired Low Cut Tank Top in Vegan Leather with Tonal Embroidery
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a runway-inspired low cut tank top around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed runway-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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- 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 low cut tank top 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
