Capsule Jacket Zipper Slider in Mohair with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a capsule jacket zipper slider around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Portugal 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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.
- Mohair 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.
- Raw-Edge Detailing 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cruise Line 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.
