Statement Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Mohair with Gathered Sleeves

Statement Second Hand Clothes Fashion in Mohair with Gathered Sleeves

A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a statement second hand clothes fashion around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed statement 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• 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. Mohair 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. Gathered Sleeves 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 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Marketing 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.
