Feather Trim with Pearlescent Coating for Swimwear
This feather trim is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the pearlescent coating surface, the 50 mm Width 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
