Custom Ethnic Shawl — Viscose with Smocking
We make ethnic shawl built around west african adinkra symbols, produced in Viscose with smocking. On ethnic shawl the decision that matters most is drape, so the cloth falls cleanly instead of standing away, 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 Jakarta or Port Klang.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, and shade variation within one carton. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare SNI or SIRIM documentation per destination so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while Eid and wedding gifting demand 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 Jakarta or Port Klang 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 drape,.

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 packing options are available?
Folded and tissue-wrapped, hangtag and barcode applied, or packed to your own size and design ratio.
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.
