Nylon Spandex Fabric for a Bridal Studio in Nigeria
A Bridal Studio approached us with a nylon spandex fabric requirement for the Nigeria market. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive freight and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- A compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
What we specified
| Item | Nylon Spandex Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | Nigeria |
| Order volume | 10,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Polyester |
| Standard size | 400 gsm |
| Finish | Black Nickel Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Polyester and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Epoxy Doming after strike-off tests showed better durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.
Result
- 10,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Keep one accountable owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
