Custom Traditional Chinese Ethnic & Folk Apparel — Jersey Knit with Beading and Embroidery
We make traditional Chinese ethnic & folk apparel built as crossed-collar youren closing to the right, cut in Jersey Knit and decorated with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum motifs using Beading and Embroidery. Heritage construction is the part buyers care about: collar height, closing direction, pleat count and bound edge width are set in the tech pack and confirmed on a sample before bulk. Programmes start at 100 pieces per style per colour and ship to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The failures here are predictable: no reliable way to track a order once it enters production, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock the specification before bulk — fabric, trim, embroidery density, dye lot and tolerance — and prepare the GB documentation so goods clear instead of sitting at port while the Mid-Autumn and National Day window passes.

Import, labelling and delivery
GB 18401 documentation with the destination's care labelling is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship to Los Angeles or San Francisco with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and apply Chinese-language care and fibre labelling where the destination requires it. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file — which matters when you are buying against the Mid-Autumn and National Day window.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 100 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 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.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 7 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.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GB 18401 class A/B/C safety classification, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
