Boutique Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining in Metallic Thread with Open Back

Boutique Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining in Metallic Thread with Open Back

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a boutique jacket lining fabric interlining lining around a single idea: open back, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed boutique 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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 jacket lining fabric interlining lining was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Open Back 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
