Runway-Inspired Trench Coat in boucle with Sculptural Draping
A Logistics Provider approached us to develop a runway-inspired trench coat around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed runway-inspired 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The trench coat was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping 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 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Logistics Provider 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.
