Boutique Jacket Zipper Slider in boucle with Lace Inset
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a boutique jacket zipper slider around a single idea: lace inset, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Italy 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle 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.
- Lace Inset 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 Department Store Buyer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
