Cashmere Fabric Sourcing Program for Promotional Product Distributors
Cashmere Fabric Programme for Promotional Product Distributors
This programme covers the full path from a cashmere fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for promotional product distributors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 240 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure in cashmere 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 ISO 12947 Abrasion Resistance
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Silicone — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Recycled PET — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
