Tassel Trim Sourcing Program for Maternity Wear Brands: Socks
Tassel Trim Programme for Maternity Wear Brands: Socks
This programme covers the full path from a tassel trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for maternity wear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 6 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around socks, 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 JIS L Standards
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Recycled PET — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Neoprene — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- POM Plastic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Zinc Alloy — selected for colour depth and finish stability

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.
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 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?
JIS L Standards 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.
