Fabric Supply Structured Around How You Buy
An importer and a bedding manufacturer do not need the same thing from a mill, even when they order the same fabric. We quote, document and schedule differently for each.
- Importers
- Wholesalers
- Bedding manufacturers
- Brands
- Project suppliers
Five buyer types, five different failure modes
Most sourcing problems are predictable once you know which failure mode applies to your business. These are the ones we design around.
Fabric importers & agents
You carry the specification risk for your customers, often without seeing the fabric yourself.
What we support:
- Written spec sheet on every order
- Inspection report with the shipment
- Consistent packing and marks so your customer receives what you sold
Wholesalers & distributors
You need stock colours that can be replenished, and the freedom to test a new colour without a container commitment.
What we support:
- Repeatable solid dyed range
- Trial quantities below full-container level
- Shade retention between lots for reorders
Bedding manufacturers
Your cutting table is the constraint. A late or narrow roll costs more than a higher fabric price.
What we support:
- Ship dates confirmed from approval
- Usable width stated and measured per roll
- Stable selvedge for high-speed cutting
Home textile brands
You need a fabric that is not on every competitor's shelf, in a colour that matches your range book.
What we support:
- Custom colour matching against your standard
- Print development from artwork
- Confidentiality on designs and specifications
Hotel & project suppliers
A project is delivered in phases and seen side by side. Shade drift between phases is a visible defect.
What we support:
- Single dye lot per phase
- Panel-to-panel comparison before packing
- Heavy drapery constructions up to 280 cm
