Romantic Jacket Zipper Slider in Genuine Leather with Asymmetric Closure

Romantic Jacket Zipper Slider in Genuine Leather with Asymmetric Closure

A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a romantic jacket zipper slider around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Malaysia 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

• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The jacket zipper slider was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Asymmetric Closure was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Department Store Buyer 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.
