Sculptural Wool Coats in Organic Denim with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Gym Chain approached us to develop a sculptural wool coats around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed sculptural 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organic Denim was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The wool coats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Gym Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
