Tassel Trim Sourcing Program for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Bridal Gowns
Tassel Trim Programme for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Bridal Gowns
This programme covers the full path from a tassel trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ski and snowboard brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 10# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bridal gowns, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in tassel trim 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 RoHS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Copper — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- PU Leather — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
