Tailored Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Velvet with Gathered Sleeves
A Government Agency approached us to develop a tailored second hand clothes fashion around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed tailored 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Velvet 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.
- Gathered Sleeves 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Government Agency 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.
