Custom Ethnic Bandana — Wool Felt with Tassel and Fringe Trim
We make ethnic bandana built around maasai beadwork geometry, produced in Wool Felt with tassel and fringe trim. On ethnic bandana the decision that matters most is wrap hold so the scarf stays in place through a full day of wear, 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 Los Angeles or New York.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 Los Angeles or New York 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 wrap hold.
