Minimalist Yoga Sports Bra in Vegan Leather with Covered Buttons
Minimalist Yoga Sports Bra in Vegan Leather with Covered Buttons
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a minimalist yoga sports bra around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for France 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The yoga sports bra was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Coffee Roaster 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.
