Custom Ethnic Shawl — Silk Charmeuse with Block Printing
We make ethnic shawl built around guatemalan brocade bands, produced in Silk Charmeuse with block printing. 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 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Jebel Ali.
The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, and trim and fringe that loosens after the first wash. We lock the specification before bulk — cloth, trim, dye lot, hem finish and tolerance — and prepare GSO conformity with Arabic labelling 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 Jebel Ali 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.
FAQ
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.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour. Mixed size runs are fine within one style.
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.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
