Case Study: Custom Wedding Shawl for an Amazon Private Label Seller in the Philippines
Wedding Shawl for an Amazon Private Label Seller in the Philippines
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us with a wedding shawl requirement for the Philippines. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified
| Product | Wedding Shawl |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Amazon Private Label Seller |
| Market | the Philippines |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base fabric | French Linen |
| Decoration | Snow Wash |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around French Linen and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Snow Wash after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
