Boutique Red Coat For Kids in Metallic Thread with Raw-Edge Detailing

Boutique Red Coat For Kids in Metallic Thread with Raw-Edge Detailing

An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a boutique red coat for kids around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Colombia and needed boutique 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• 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. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The red coat for kids was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Fashion Designer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
