Chiffon Fabric Sourcing Program for Plus Size Brands: Luggage
Chiffon Fabric Programme for Plus Size Brands: Luggage
This programme covers the full path from a chiffon fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for plus size brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 140 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around luggage, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in chiffon 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 WRAP
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Recycled PET — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Genuine Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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