Luxe Jacket Zipper Slider in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Luxe Jacket Zipper Slider in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a luxe jacket zipper slider around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed luxe 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Influencer-Led Brand 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.
