Minimalist Wool Coats in Vegan Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Surf School approached us to develop a minimalist wool coats around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Germany and needed minimalist 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- The wool coats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
