Chic Jacket Zipper Slider in Metallic Thread with Cut-Out Detail
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a chic jacket zipper slider around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed chic 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread 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.
- Cut-Out 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain 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.
