Custom Ethnic Stole — Wool Felt with Piece Dyeing
We make ethnic stole built around indonesian kawung palms, produced in Wool Felt with piece dyeing. On ethnic stole the decision that matters most is hand feel against the neck, which decides whether it gets worn, so that is fixed in the tech pack before cloth is bought — not discovered on the first bulk lot. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per colour and ship to Los Angeles or New York.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk cloth, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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 summer festival 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 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 hand feel against the neck, which decides whether it gets worn.
