Custom Ethnic Bandana — Ikat Cotton with Hand-Rolled Edge
We make ethnic bandana built around balkan folk embroidery, produced in Ikat Cotton with hand-rolled edge. 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 100 pieces per style per colour and ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe.
The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, and trim and fringe that loosens after the first wash. 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 summer festival season 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,.
FAQ
Can you match a fabric or a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we match cloth weight, hand feel and shade, then confirm on a strike-off before bulk.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 100 pieces per style per colour. Mixed size runs are fine within one style.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many gift shop and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
