Custom Ethnic Shawl — Muslin with Crochet Edging
We make ethnic shawl built around west african adinkra symbols, produced in Muslin with crochet edging. On ethnic shawl the decision that matters most is weight balance — enough body to drape, light enough to wear all day, 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 Shanghai or Shenzhen.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while the autumn-winter accessory 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 Shanghai or Shenzhen 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 weight balance.
