Silk Crepe-de-Chine Scarves Wholesale India

Silk crepe-de-chine (CDC) offers distinctive slight crinkle texture and superior drape versus flat silk. Popular for women's fashion scarves where flow and movement matter — floaty summer dresses, luxury blouse programmes translate directly to scarf design.

Crepe-de-Chine vs Other Silks

vs Twill — Softer drape, less structure, more feminine feel
vs Satin — Matte finish, no glossy sheen
vs Chiffon — More opaque, more substantial hand
vs Habotai — Textured surface (habotai is smooth)

Common Weights

12mm CDC — Lightweight summer
14mm CDC — Standard commercial (most common)
16mm CDC — Substantial premium
18mm+ CDC — Heavy luxury

Applications

Fashion scarves (floaty rectangular)
Statement square scarves
Silk hair scarves and wraps
Neck ties (women's)
Hijabs and headscarves

Print Suitability

CDC accepts digital and screen print exceptionally well — the slight texture doesn't disrupt fine print detail. Colour saturation appears slightly softer than on flat silk twill, which many designers prefer for artistic prints.

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 30–45 days after PPS (pre-production sample) approval. Add 3–4 weeks for sample development (typically 2–3 sample rounds), and 18–35 days for sea freight depending on destination. Total order-to-delivery for a first-time programme: 12–16 weeks. Repeat orders without specification change compress to 6–8 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 — mis-declared fibre content is one of the most common commercial disputes.

Can you produce scarves in specific Pantone colours?

Yes — Pantone-matched dye programmes are standard. Custom colour development takes 10–14 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 — approve per fabric.
