Luxe Red Coat For Kids in boucle with Delicate Pleating
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a luxe red coat for kids around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Australia 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
- 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

- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The red coat for kids was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Boutique Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
