Custom Ethnic Hat — Raffia Straw with Curved Brim
We supply ethnic hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Raffia Straw with curved brim for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is security of decorative components, tested by pull — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or shade variation within one carton. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare GSO conformity with Arabic labelling so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them, and shape-protected where the profile cannot be crushed. Test reports for colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jebel Ali with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same security of decorative components.
FAQ
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 14 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
