Luxe Mens Hunting Jackets in Metallic Thread with Feather Trim
Luxe Mens Hunting Jackets in Metallic Thread with Feather Trim
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a luxe mens hunting jackets around a single idea: feather trim, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed luxe 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
