Modern Stylish Children Down Jacket in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Modern Stylish Children Down Jacket in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a modern stylish children down jacket around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Denmark and needed modern 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
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The stylish children down jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a University Athletic Department launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
