Effortless Wool Coats in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a effortless wool coats around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Mexico 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
