Contemporary Jacket Zipper Slider in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail
Contemporary Jacket Zipper Slider in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail
A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a contemporary jacket zipper slider around a single idea: bow detail, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed contemporary 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The jacket zipper slider was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Bow Detail 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
