Custom Ethnic Gloves & Mittens in Waxed Cotton with All-Over Sublimation for Ethnic Boutiques and Concept Stores

Custom Ethnic Gloves & Mittens — Waxed Cotton with All-Over Sublimation

We make ethnic gloves & mittens built around indian block-print buta, produced in Waxed Cotton with All-Over Sublimation. 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 200 pieces per style per colour and ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe.

The failures here are predictable: suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid, and minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. We lock the specification before bulk — materials, trim attachment strength, dye lot and tolerance — and prepare REACH so shipments clear instead of sitting at port while Carnival and cultural parade season passes.

Import, duty and delivery

REACH nickel-release and GPSR documentation is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe 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 Carnival and cultural parade season.

FAQ

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.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 200 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 5 days each.

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.
