Chic Denim Jacket Fashion in Genuine Leather with Delicate Pleating
Chic Denim Jacket Fashion in Genuine Leather with Delicate Pleating
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a chic denim jacket fashion around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed chic 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The denim jacket fashion was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-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.
