Parisian Biker Leather Jacket in Organic Denim with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Parisian Biker Leather Jacket in Organic Denim with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a parisian biker leather jacket around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed parisian 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• 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. Organic Denim was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The biker leather jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a National Retail Chain 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.
