Custom Ethnic Stole — Flannel with Yarn Dyeing
We make ethnic stole built around maasai beadwork geometry, produced in Flannel with yarn dyeing. On ethnic stole 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 Lagos or Durban.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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 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 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 weight balance.
