Custom Ethnic Shawl — Twill with Foil Printing
We make ethnic shawl built around japanese sashiko stitching, produced in Twill with foil printing. 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, and minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. 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 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 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 drape,.
