Custom Ethnic Shawl — Organza with Chenille Embroidery
We make ethnic shawl built around maasai beadwork geometry, produced in Organza with chenille embroidery. On ethnic shawl 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 100 pieces per style per colour and ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk cloth, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation 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 Rotterdam or Felixstowe 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.
