Custom Ethnic Stole in Ikat Cotton with Applique Embroidery for Travel and Resort Collections

Custom Ethnic Stole — Ikat Cotton with Applique Embroidery

We make ethnic stole built around balinese floral batik, produced in Ikat Cotton with applique embroidery. On ethnic stole the decision that matters most is hand feel against the neck, which decides whether it gets worn, so that is fixed in the tech pack before cloth is bought — not discovered on the first bulk lot. Programmes start at 200 pieces per style per colour and ship to Los Angeles or New York.

The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, and a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. 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 autumn-winter accessory window passes.

• Travel, resort and cruise retail — light packable pieces for humid coastal resort weather

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 hand feel against the neck, which decides whether it gets worn.
