Bespoke Goes Digital: Kachins Fashion’s Journey to Global Reach with Advanced 3D Configurator

The Challenge: Taking a Legacy Brand Global

For over five decades, Kachins Fashion has been a pillar of bespoke menswear in India, building a prestigious reputation for outfitting everyone from local patrons to Bollywood legends. Their business was built on a foundation of tradition and a hands-on, in-person design process.

However, as the world moved online, Kachins faced a critical hurdle: how to translate that high-touch experience into a digital format. They needed to empower online customers to see, combine, and customize fabrics and styles with the same confidence as they would in-store. This required a solution that went beyond static photos—they needed a dynamic and interactive 3d product visualizer.

Kachins has dressed Bollywood legends such as Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan.

The Solution: A Flexible API for a Custom Experience

With a clear vision led by Director Zulfika Shaperwala who has a background in programming, Kachins sought a technology partner that offered power and flexibility. After researching multiple options, they chose TG3D.

The key differentiator was TG3D’s robust API. Unlike rigid plug-and-play models, the API gave Kachins the freedom to build a completely custom online experience that reflected their unique brand.

Using TG3D’s DC Suite as their core 3d clothing design software, Kachins digitized their unique patterns and vast fabric library. This powerful backend, combined with TG3D’s API, enabled them to deploy Scanatic Studio, a seamless 3D configurator for ecommerce, directly on their website. This gave customers worldwide full creative control over the design process, leveraging the accurate digital assets created using the 3d garment design software.

“The ability for us to put our own design through your interface… and especially the APIs, which you are able to integrate back-end… there’s a lot of flexibility to do things.”
