Minimalist Green Down Jacket Women in Metallic Thread with Crystal Embellishment

Minimalist Green Down Jacket Women in Metallic Thread with Crystal Embellishment

A Surf School approached us to develop a minimalist green down jacket women around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed minimalist 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The green down jacket women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Crystal Embellishment was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Surf School 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.
