Corduroy Fabric Sourcing Program for Lingerie Brands

Corduroy Fabric Programme for Lingerie Brands

This programme covers the full path from a corduroy fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for lingerie brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 180 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in corduroy 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 California Prop 65
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Stainless Steel — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• Zinc Alloy — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
• Neoprene — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Ceramic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

Why buyers choose this route

• AQL inspection on every bulk lot with photo reporting before balance payment
• One accountable owner from sampling through to ex-factory
• Golden sample retained at the factory and a second one held by the buyer
• Costed alternatives shown at quotation so the trade-off is visible
• Plating and dyeing sub-processes planned into the quoted lead time

FAQ

Which compliance documents do you provide?

California Prop 65 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

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.

Do you hold stock for reorders?

Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.

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.

Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
