Luxe Wool Coats in Velvet with Lace Inset
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a luxe wool coats around a single idea: lace inset, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for France 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

- The wool coats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
