Vintage-Inspired Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Vegan Leather with Asymmetric Closure
Vintage-Inspired Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Vegan Leather with Asymmetric Closure
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a vintage-inspired lightweight feather red jacket women around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed vintage-inspired 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Vegan Leather 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.
- Asymmetric Closure 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Gym Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
