Custom Ethnic Stole — Linen with Mirror Work
We make ethnic stole built around nordic fair isle patterning, produced in Linen with mirror work. 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, 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 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 hem finish and fringe attachment strength after washing.
FAQ
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved lab dip and the bulk reference are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
Can you match a fabric or a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we match cloth weight, hand feel and shade, then confirm on a strike-off before bulk.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 150 pieces per style per colour. Mixed size runs are fine within one style.
