Capsule Jacket Zipper Slider in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Capsule Jacket Zipper Slider in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Promotional Products Company approached us to develop a capsule jacket zipper slider around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for the United Arab Emirates and needed capsule 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• 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. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The jacket zipper slider was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Promotional Products Company 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.
