D-Ring Sourcing Program for Lingerie Brands: Gloves
D-Ring Programme for Lingerie Brands: Gloves
This programme covers the full path from a d-ring requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for lingerie brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 20 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around gloves, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in d-ring 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 Bluesign
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Glass — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Rubber — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Polyester — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Copper — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
