Custom Ethnic Shawl — Boiled Wool with Crochet Edging
We make ethnic shawl built around chinese cloud scrolls, produced in Boiled Wool with crochet edging. 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 200 pieces per style per colour and ship to Los Angeles or New York.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, 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 CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 Los Angeles or New York 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,.
