Waffle Knit Fabric with Rainbow Iridescent Finish for Swimwear
This waffle knit fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the rainbow iridescent finish surface, the 240 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps swimwear consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
