Designer Denim Jacket Style in Tencel with Lace Inset
Designer Denim Jacket Style in Tencel with Lace Inset
A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a designer denim jacket style around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed designer 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

|---|---|
| Client type | A Trade Show Exhibitor |
| Market | Nigeria |

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The denim jacket style was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Trade Show Exhibitor 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.
