Avant-Garde Green Down Jacket Women in Tencel with Monogram Hardware
Avant-Garde Green Down Jacket Women in Tencel with Monogram Hardware
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a avant-garde green down jacket women around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed avant-garde 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

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 green down jacket women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cruise Line 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.
