Capabilities & Compliance
Manufacturing Capabilities: Vertically Integrated from Yarn to Finished Product
We are 100% in-house from yarn to carton. We select the yarn, weave it on our own looms and knit on our own machines, then cut, make, trim, finish and pack in our own facility. One team is accountable for your product at every stage, and every stage can be customised to your requirements.
From the Yarn Up
Five stages, one team
01
Yarn
Counts, compositions and blends selected to your spec across linen, cotton and TENCEL™.
02
Weaving
Weave structure, GSM and widths woven on our own looms, in widths to 136 inches so wide bedding runs seamless.
03
Knitting
Cable, jacquard, intarsia and textured stitch constructions knitted on our own machines.
04
Dyeing & Printing
Colours, prints and washes developed to your specification, matched to Pantone TCX or a physical reference, with AZO-free dyes.
05
Cutting & Sewing
Sizes, constructions and finishing details tailored on our own floor.
06
Finishing & Packing
Final inspection, labels and retail-ready packaging to your brand's standards.
Faster sampling
Development moves quickly because nothing waits on third parties.
Sharper pricing
No middlemen between the yarn and your finished order. You buy directly from the maker.
Customise at any stage
From yarn count to packaging, every step can be adjusted to your requirements.
One team, one standard
Every stage is checked by our own team, so quality never depends on an outside vendor.

Commercial Terms
MOQ, sampling and lead times
Minimum order
From 50 pieces
From 50 pieces knitted and 100 pieces woven, set per quality and per colourway rather than per size, so a minimum can be split across sizes.
Sampling
About 7 days
Counter samples in about one week on woven and 10 days on knitted, from agreed specification.
Sample cost
Adjusted against first order
Samples are chargeable and adjusted against the first bulk order, so a development that reaches production costs you nothing in samples.
Production lead time
From 60 days FOB
Bulk runs from 60 days FOB after sample approval. Your cloth is scheduled on our own looms rather than queued at an outside weaver.
Two Programmes
Woven and knitted, one team
Both programmes run under the same quality team and ship together against the same order, on the same documents, at one FOB.
Development
From brief to bulk
What we need from you at each stage, and what you get back.
| Step | From you | From us |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Mood board, reference sample, tech pack or photograph, plus target FOB | Feasibility view, quality options, indicative FOB |
| Development | Approved direction, Pantone TCX or physical colour reference | Woven swatches or lab dips |
| Counter sample | Comments on the fabric stage | Counter sample in about one week on woven, 10 days on knitted |
| Approval | Signed sealer, size chart, label and packing artwork | Confirmed tech pack, locked FOB |
| Bulk | Purchase order | Pre-production sample, in-line and final inspection, FOB shipment |
We run full private label: your labels, packaging, artwork and exclusive designs.
