Luxe Red Coat For Kids in Washed Linen with Covered Buttons
Luxe Red Coat For Kids in Washed Linen with Covered Buttons
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a luxe red coat for kids around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Germany 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- The red coat for kids was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
