Editorial Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Crochet with Tonal Embroidery
Editorial Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Crochet with Tonal Embroidery
A Dance School approached us to develop a editorial lightweight feather red jacket women around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed editorial 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The lightweight feather red jacket women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Tonal Embroidery 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Dance School 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.
