Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard MOQ for scarf programmes from India?

For most scarf categories the practical MOQ is 200 pieces per colour per design. Cashmere and silk programmes often accept 100 pieces at premium pricing. Custom jacquard weaving typically requires 500 pieces minimum to amortise loom setup. Print-based programmes (digital, block-print) can go as low as 50 pieces for silk digital print due to zero setup cost per additional colour.

How long does it take from sample approval to bulk delivery?

Standard scarf production runs 30โ€“45 days after PPS (pre-production sample) approval. Add 3โ€“4 weeks for sample development (typically 2โ€“3 sample rounds), and 18โ€“35 days for sea freight depending on destination. Total order-to-delivery for a first-time programme: 12โ€“16 weeks. Repeat orders without specification change compress to 6โ€“8 weeks.

What certifications should I demand for scarves imported into the EU?

Mandatory: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Class I for skin contact). For organic-marketed products: GOTS Transaction Certificate per shipment. For recycled fibre claims: GRS or RCS certificate. For wool-origin claims: RWS chain-of-custody. Also request independent fibre composition test per lot โ€” mis-declared fibre content is one of the most common commercial disputes.

Can you produce scarves in specific Pantone colours?

Yes โ€” Pantone-matched dye programmes are standard. Custom colour development takes 10โ€“14 days and typically requires a 300-metre or 200-piece minimum per colour. Colour matches to Pantone reference are approved via physical strike-off on the specified substrate before bulk production begins. Colour drift between substrates (silk vs cotton) is normal โ€” approve per fabric.
