Custom Ethnic Stole — Flannel with Batik Wax-Resist Dyeing
We make ethnic stole built around west african adinkra symbols, produced in Flannel with batik wax-resist dyeing. On ethnic stole the decision that matters most is hem finish and fringe attachment strength after washing, so that is fixed in the tech pack before cloth is bought — not discovered on the first bulk lot. Programmes start at 150 pieces per style per colour and ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe.
The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, and trim and fringe that loosens after the first wash. 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 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 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 hem finish and fringe attachment strength after washing.
