Chic Jacket Zipper Slider in boucle with Covered Buttons
Chic Jacket Zipper Slider in boucle with Covered Buttons
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a chic jacket zipper slider around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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.
- Covered Buttons 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
