Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom shawls, and is it firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

MOQs vary by factory and construction method - a jacquard-knit wool shawl may carry a different minimum than a sublimation-printed satin shawl, for example. Your production team will confirm the exact MOQ per style and colorway once you submit a brief. In many cases minimums can be negotiated, especially when you bundle multiple styles in one production run.

Question 2

How much does a sample cost and how long does it take before production begins?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline depend on the complexity of your custom shawl design and the factory producing it. Typically, a first sample takes 2-4 weeks after your brief is finalized and your tech pack is approved. Sample fees are quoted separately from production costs so you can evaluate fit, drape, and branding before committing to a full run.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for shawls?

Accepted Answer

After sample approval, a standard production run for custom shawls generally takes 4-8 weeks depending on the manufacturing method and order size. For example, a cashmere pashmina with a knit-in jacquard logo and custom woven labels may sit toward the longer end, while a screen-printed cotton wrap in a single colorway can ship faster. Your production team provides a timeline specific to your order once the brief is complete.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing at different quantity levels like 25, 50, 100, 250, or 500 units?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - and per-unit cost decreases as volume increases. Rather than publishing fixed prices, we return a detailed quote once you submit a brief so the numbers reflect your exact specs: material, decoration, packaging, and destination.

Question 5

What private label and white label branding options are available for shawls?

Accepted Answer

Private label scope covers woven brand labels, printed or woven care labels, custom hangtags, and branded packaging. You can bundle all branding elements into one production order or select them a la carte. Whether you are launching a white label shawl line or adding branded finishing touches to an existing design, your production team coordinates every detail with the factory.

Question 6

Can you source specific materials like cashmere or merino wool from a brief, or do I need a tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a tech pack that specifies a named fabric, our manufacturing partners can match it. If you are starting from scratch, submit a brief describing the hand-feel, weight, and fiber you want - cotton, satin, wool, merino wool, or cashmere - and your production team will present swatches and mill options for approval before sampling begins.

Question 7

Can you grade patterns from my measurements instead of using stock templates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you supply your own size specs or a graded measurement chart, the factory builds patterns to your exact dimensions rather than defaulting to stock templates. This is especially important for custom shawl silhouettes like oversized wraps or fitted pashminas where drape and proportion define the product.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within one MOQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can split a single MOQ across multiple colorways and sizes as long as the per-color or per-size quantities meet the factory's minimum for that production method. Your production team will outline the split options when they return your quote so you can plan your drop without over-ordering any single SKU.

Question 9

What decoration methods work best for custom shawl designs?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the look you are after. Sublimation and all-over print deliver photo-quality, full-color graphics on satin or polyester-blend shawls. Knit-in jacquard is ideal for tonal logos on wool or cashmere. Screen printing works well for bold, spot-color motifs on cotton wraps and bandana-style shawls. Woven patches and custom care labels round out the branding. Your production team recommends the best method once they review your brief.
