Sourcing
Our office sits in Keqiao, Shaoxing, home to China Textile City, one of the world's largest fabric markets. Thousands of mills and converters are within an hour of our desk. We know which mill weaves what, at which quality, and at what lead time.
Velvets, jacquards, chenilles, linen-look.
Sheers, voiles, dim-out and blackout.
Digital and rotary prints, piece-dyed, yarn-dyed.
Prepared-for-print and prepared-for-dyeing bases, scoured and bleached, ready for your own printing or dyeing.
Wovens and knits for fashion programmes.
Before bulk, we agree the specification with you and check it at the mill:
Composition, weight (GSM), usable width, weave or knit.
Shade against your standard, under the light source you specify.
Colour fastness to rubbing, washing and light; shrinkage; pilling and abrasion (Martindale) for upholstery.
Soft-touch, water-repellent, flame-retardant, blackout coating.
Hand-feel, drape, defects per roll.
Swatches, hangers, header cards and colour cards to build your collection, then strike-offs and lab dips to lock every colourway before production.
Your reference, swatch or mood board becomes a technical spec: composition, weight, width, finish, colour standard.
We shortlist mills on quality, capacity, lead time and the compliance your market requires.
Strike-offs, lab dips and pre-production samples until you approve.
We follow the run at the mill, check shade, hand-feel and defects against the approved sample, and ship.
Faster sampling, shorter supply chains.
We visit the mills, not just email them.
We've supplied European retailers for years and know their quality manuals, labelling and packing rules.
We work under letters of credit, routine for large retail orders.
It depends on the fabric and finish. Stock fabrics can start small; custom colours and prints need a mill run. Tell us your volumes and we will find a mill that fits them.
Sampling usually takes days to a few weeks; bulk depends on the fabric and the mill's schedule. We give you a dated plan with every quotation.
Yes. Send a swatch or a photo with references; we analyse it and propose the closest qualities, then develop until it matches.
Prepared-for-print and prepared-for-dyeing bases: greige fabric scoured and bleached so it takes print or dye evenly. We supply them to printers and converters who finish in-house.
From the nearby ports of Ningbo and Shanghai, by sea or air, with all export documents prepared. We are used to letter-of-credit terms.
