Velour Fabric Sourcing Program for Fast Fashion Retailers
Velour Fabric Programme for Fast Fashion Retailers
This programme covers the full path from a velour fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fast fashion retailers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 110 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in velour fabric sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- PU Leather — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Zinc Alloy — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
