Velour Fabric for a Hotel Group in Turkey
A Hotel Group approached us with a velour fabric requirement for the Turkey 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
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
- Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
What we specified
| Item | Velour Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Hotel Group |
| Market | Turkey |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 4 specifications |
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 210 gsm |
| Finish | Glossy Enamel Coating |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 4 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | AATCC Test Methods |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around ABS Resin and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Nickel-Free Electroplating 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-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
Approve a pre-production sample made from the actual bulk base material. Substitute material behaves differently in finishing.
