Mulberry Silk Fabric Sourcing Program for Lingerie Brands: Bridal Gowns
Mulberry Silk Fabric Programme for Lingerie Brands: Bridal Gowns
This programme covers the full path from a mulberry silk fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for lingerie brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 360 gsm, 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 mulberry silk 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 JIS L Standards
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Zinc Alloy — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- ABS Resin — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Glass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

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 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.
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.
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.
