PU Coated Fabric Sourcing Program for Fast Fashion Retailers: Luggage
PU Coated Fabric Programme for Fast Fashion Retailers: Luggage
This programme covers the full path from a pu coated fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fast fashion retailers. 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 luggage, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in pu coated 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 California Prop 65
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Brass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Genuine Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Silicone — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- ABS Resin — 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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
