Custom Ethnic Gloves & Mittens in Organic Cotton with Zari-Style Metallic Embroidery for Wedding and Ceremonial Dressing

Custom Ethnic Gloves & Mittens — Organic Cotton with Zari-Style Metallic Embroidery

We make ethnic gloves & mittens built around samoan tatau linework, produced in Organic Cotton with Zari-Style Metallic Embroidery. Ethnic accessory programmes fail on the details: bead count per motif, stitch density, trim weight and colour matching all have to hold across a repeat order, so we set them in the tech pack and confirm them on a sample before bulk. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per colour and ship to Shanghai or Ningbo.

The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock the specification before bulk — materials, trim attachment strength, dye lot and tolerance — and prepare OEKO-TEX so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while the spring tourist season passes.

Import, duty and delivery

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 with the destination's labelling rules is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship to Shanghai or Ningbo with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and quote landed cost so duty and tax are visible before you commit. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file — which matters when you are buying against the spring tourist season.

FAQ

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

What file formats do you need for artwork?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.

How is shipping handled?

We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
