Custom Ethnic Head Wrap — Madras Cotton with All-Over Sublimation
We make ethnic head wrap built around balinese floral batik, produced in Madras Cotton with all-over sublimation. On ethnic head wrap the decision that matters most is knot security at the nape without slipping on fine hair, so that is fixed in the tech pack before cloth is bought — not discovered on the first bulk lot. Programmes start at 150 pieces per style per colour and ship to Jebel Ali.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare GSO conformity with Arabic labelling so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while the spring tourist 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 Jebel Ali 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 knot security at the nape without slipping on fine hair.
