Capsule Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Tencel with Cut-Out Detail

Capsule Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Tencel with Cut-Out Detail

A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a capsule second hand clothes fashion around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed capsule 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
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The second hand clothes fashion was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Cut-Out Detail 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a University Athletic Department 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.
