Effortless Red Coat For Kids in Genuine Leather with Covered Buttons
Effortless Red Coat For Kids in Genuine Leather with Covered Buttons
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a effortless red coat for kids around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed effortless 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Genuine Leather 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.
- Covered Buttons 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC 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.
