Luxe Puffer Jacket in Tulle with Hand-Finished Hem
Luxe Puffer Jacket in Tulle with Hand-Finished Hem
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a luxe puffer jacket around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Sweden and needed luxe 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Tulle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The puffer jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Hand-Finished Hem 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
