Custom Ethnic Kerchief — Wool Felt with Pompom Trim
We make ethnic kerchief built around japanese sashiko stitching, produced in Wool Felt with pompom trim. On ethnic kerchief 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, and minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. 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 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 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 opacity,.
