Bra Ring and Slider Sourcing Program for Swimwear Brands: Lingerie
Bra Ring and Slider Programme for Swimwear Brands: Lingerie
This programme covers the full path from a bra ring and slider requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for swimwear brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 25 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around lingerie, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in bra ring and slider 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 ISO 9001
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Brass — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nickel Silver — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Genuine Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
