Custom Ethnic Head Scarf — Velvet with Garment Dyeing
We make ethnic head scarf built around chinese cloud scrolls, produced in Velvet with garment dyeing. On ethnic head scarf 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: trim and fringe that loosens after the first wash, and colour drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk cloth. 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 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 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 wrap hold.
