Capsule Utility Cargo Pants Womens in Vegan Leather with Delicate Pleating
Capsule Utility Cargo Pants Womens in Vegan Leather with Delicate Pleating
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a capsule utility cargo pants womens around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for China 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
