Non-Woven Fabric Sourcing Program for Independent Boutiques: Home Curtains
Non-Woven Fabric Programme for Independent Boutiques: Home Curtains
This programme covers the full path from a non-woven fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for independent boutiques. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 210 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around home curtains, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in non-woven 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 CPSIA
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Brass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Nickel Silver — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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 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.
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.
