Tailored Low Cut Tank Top in Vegan Leather with Covered Buttons
Tailored Low Cut Tank Top in Vegan Leather with Covered Buttons
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a tailored low cut tank top around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed tailored 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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.
- Covered Buttons 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marketing Agency 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.
