Custom Ethnic Head Scarf — Modal with DTG Digital Printing
We make ethnic head scarf built around west african adinkra symbols, produced in Modal with dtg digital printing. On ethnic head scarf 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, 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 SONCAP or PVoC pre-export verification so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while the Christmas market and holiday 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 Lagos or Durban 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.
