Romantic Jacket Zipper Slider in Ribbed Jersey with Sculptural Draping
A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a romantic jacket zipper slider around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed romantic 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

- The jacket zipper slider was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
