Avant-Garde Jacket Zipper Slider in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a avant-garde jacket zipper slider around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed avant-garde 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Crochet 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.
- Mother-of-Pearl 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
