Elevated Cashmere Sweater in Genuine Leather with Covered Buttons
A Promotional Products Company approached us to develop a elevated cashmere sweater around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for China and needed elevated 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cashmere sweater 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Promotional Products Company 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.
