Elevated Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Genuine Leather with Fringe Trim
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a elevated second hand clothes fashion around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed elevated 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The second hand clothes fashion was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain 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.
