Before sampling
- The end garment and the market it sells into
- A reference sample or a written construction
- A colour reference for a dip
Each step below says what we do, what you need to supply, and what gets confirmed before the next step starts. Nothing is committed to production on a verbal instruction.
Sampling before quotation, quotation before order, order before production. Where a step has a confirmation point, it is marked.
You write to us with the end garment and what you are trying to buy. Nothing has to be complete for this step to be useful.
Your part: the garment, the target market and the approximate quantity.
We come back with what is workable at your target quality and price, and flag anything that needs a compromise: a weight that will not hold the handle you want, a colour that needs a different yarn, a minimum the volume cannot reach.
Your part: composition, weight, width, weave or reference sample, colour reference, finish and any certification your buyer requires.
First confirmation point — the construction and the specification are agreed in writing before sampling starts.
A4 swatches go out free of charge; handloom and lab dips run 7–10 days and development samples 20–30 days, both subject to confirmation. The courier for physical samples is on your account.
Your part: a delivery address, a courier account, and a written yes or no on each sample. Approval by email or chat is the only approval we act on.
Second confirmation point — the approved sample and its revision become the bulk standard.
The quotation states unit price, currency, trade term, minimum, lead time, validity and whether freight is included, plus any small-order or development charge. Validity is set per order from the article, the quantity and the upstream price-lock conditions, and is written into the document.
Your part: the final quantity per colour and the delivery window, so the price is quoted against a real volume rather than an estimate.
Work is booked against a written purchase order or contract, with the confirmed sample version, quantity, colour allocation, packing and shipping marks, delivery date and agreed payment arrangement. Nothing is committed to production on a verbal instruction.
Your part: the purchase order and the agreed payment arrangement for that order.
Third confirmation point — the written order and the agreed terms. Changes after this are handled as a revision.
Yarn is booked, the lot is woven or knitted, dyed and finished. Our merchandiser follows the order from confirmation onward and is the person you ask for status.
Your part: tell us early if a colour, a quantity or a delivery date is moving. A change is checked against price, material and schedule before it is accepted.
Greige inspection, dyeing and finishing follow-up, then inspection of the finished roll to the agreed standard. Quality is our responsibility under our own QC system. Findings are reported before shipment.
Your part: the inspection standard you want applied, if it differs from the usual four-point check on 100 yards.
Fourth confirmation point — you decide on any reported finding before the goods are packed for shipment.
Goods are consolidated in Shenzhen or Shanghai and shipped by sea, air or express. We issue the commercial invoice, packing list and product test reports; the transport document comes from the forwarder. Duty-paid delivery to the door can be quoted for destinations in 200+ countries.
Your part: the consignee details, any labelling or packing instruction, and the documents your customs broker needs.
If something is wrong, we take the complaint, collect the order and batch details with photographs or a sample, check it with production and come back with a position.
Your part: the order or batch reference, photographs or a sample, and a short description of the problem.
Fifth confirmation point — the remedy is agreed with you in writing, and we do not repeat compensation for the same loss.
Sampling cycles and production lead times are typical ranges and always subject to confirmation.
Payment arrangements are agreed order by order and written into the quotation and the contract. We do not publish deposit percentages or credit terms on this site.
A complaint is handled by the merchandising team that followed the order, against the batch that was shipped.
First response is within 1 working day of the complaint reaching us — the clock does not wait for samples. The completed assessment and an initial plan follow within 7 working days once the key information and necessary samples are in hand.
Most delays in an order come from a missing document or a late change, not from production.
Send the garment, the quantity and the delivery window you are working to. The first reply will tell you what is workable and what has to be confirmed before sampling.
We will confirm the construction, the sampling route, the price and the delivery window before anything is booked.
Quotations, minimums and lead times are confirmed per order.
