Custom Ethnic Shawl — Wool with Batik Wax-Resist Dyeing
We make ethnic shawl built around guatemalan brocade bands, produced in Wool with batik wax-resist dyeing. On ethnic shawl the decision that matters most is hem finish and fringe attachment strength after washing, 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 Jebel Ali.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, 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 the Christmas market and holiday 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 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 hem finish and fringe attachment strength after washing.
FAQ
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.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many gift shop and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare CPSIA lead and phthalate testing and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
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.
