Custom Ethnic Bandana — Merino Wool with Tassel and Fringe Trim
We make ethnic bandana built around turkish iznik florals, produced in Merino Wool with tassel and fringe trim. On ethnic bandana the decision that matters most is opacity, so the cloth does not go sheer under strong sun, so that is fixed in the tech pack before cloth is bought — not discovered on the first bulk lot. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per colour and ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe.
The failures here are predictable: trim and fringe that loosens after the first wash, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while the autumn-winter accessory window passes.

Care, packing and delivery
Each piece is folded, tissue-wrapped and packed to the ratio you specify, with barcodes and hangtags applied where the retail channel needs them. Care labelling follows the destination's rules. We ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved specification on file so reorders reproduce the same cloth, the same shade and the same opacity,.

How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 14 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved lab dip and the bulk reference are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
