Jersey Knit Fabric Sourcing Program for Fashion Brands: Bags
Jersey Knit Fabric Programme for Fashion Brands: Bags
This programme covers the full path from a jersey knit fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fashion brands. 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. It is built around bags, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in jersey knit 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
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Ceramic — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Copper — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 12947 Abrasion Resistance documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
