Selvedge Denim Fabric Sourcing Program for Bag and Luggage Makers: Yoga Wear
Selvedge Denim Fabric Programme for Bag and Luggage Makers: Yoga Wear
This programme covers the full path from a selvedge denim fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for bag and luggage makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 80 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in selvedge denim 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 REACH SVHC Screening
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Recycled PET — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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