Sculptural Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Organza with High-Low Hem

Sculptural Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Organza with High-Low Hem

A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a sculptural second hand clothes fashion around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed sculptural 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
• 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. Organza 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. High-Low Hem 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Nonprofit Organization 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.
