Elevated Stylish Children Down Jacket in Suede with Gathered Sleeves
Elevated Stylish Children Down Jacket in Suede with Gathered Sleeves
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a elevated stylish children down jacket around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed elevated 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

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
