Boutique Marine Layer Women Pullover Hoodie in Vegan Leather with Padded Shoulder

Boutique Marine Layer Women Pullover Hoodie in Vegan Leather with Padded Shoulder

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a boutique marine layer women pullover hoodie around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed boutique 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The marine layer women pullover hoodie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Padded Shoulder 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

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-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

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
