Minimalist Blue Down Jacket in Cupro with Monogram Hardware
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a minimalist blue down jacket around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Argentina 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The blue down jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
