Runway-Inspired Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Genuine Leather with Waist Tie Belt

Runway-Inspired Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Genuine Leather with Waist Tie Belt

A Wholesale Distributor approached us to develop a runway-inspired plus size equestrian clothing around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Switzerland 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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 plus size equestrian clothing was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Waist Tie Belt 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Wholesale Distributor 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.
