Best use case

When an existing design does not fit

Use development to discuss a construction, color or finish change. Confirm the available scope and sample requirements before committing to bulk production.

Start with a Fabric Reference

A physical reference or clear specification helps define the intended texture, weight, color and application for custom woven textiles.

Custom Woven Fabric for Your Collection

Describe what should change from the reference: construction, surface texture, color or finish. Custom fabric weaving is reviewed against the proposed design and production requirements, with the final specification agreed after sample review.

What custom development means on this site

OEM vs ODM is a common buyer question. On this site, custom development is the route for a construction, color or finish change. Existing-design wholesale stays on the wholesale page. We do not publish a fixed OEM or ODM branding package; cooperation scope is confirmed for the proposed program.

  • Share a reference: fabric, color or construction target, plus the intended furniture application.
  • Separate the change: say what must change in weave or knit, color, or finish such as C0 water-repellent, PSAF or UV, reviewed per selected quality.
  • Agree the sample check: who will assess the sample and what they need to compare. Sample arrangements and costs are confirmed on inquiry.
  • Confirm production terms: standard production starts at 1,400 m per color. Timing, price and packing are order-specific. This page does not publish a fixed lead time.

If a current design already fits, use wholesale fabric supply. Selected stock uses the separate Ready To Ship 300 m minimum. Review factory and fabric testing capabilities before sending the brief.

When ODM is the better route

Define What Needs to Change

Separate construction, color and finish requirements so each part of the development brief can be assessed.

Color and market adaptation

Custom Color Fabric

Share the color reference and intended application. Custom fabric color is assessed on the selected construction; approval conditions are agreed for the program.

Finish planning

Finish requirements

Name the function and test method required. C0 water-repellent or waterproof options, PSAF and UV requirements are reviewed for the selected quality.

Sampling and approval

Sample approval

State who will assess the sample and what they need to check. Sample arrangements, costs and development timing require confirmation.

What to confirm on a custom fabric route

From Construction to Color and Finish

Custom dyed fabric combines a selected construction with an agreed color direction. The dyeing and finishing scope depends on the proposed quality.

01

Construction brief

Include composition, weight, width and weave requirements where known. Send a reference when the specification is still open.

Development scope

02

Color and finish brief

Define the color reference and intended function separately. Confirm their compatibility on the selected fabric before production.

Finish integration

03

Testing and approval

Send your target market and required test methods. The laboratory can discuss assessment of the proposed fabric; results and documentation depend on the agreed scope.

Commercial control

04

Production requirements

State the quantity per color and expected timing. Standard production starts at 1,400 m per color; final terms are agreed for the program.

Custom color Finish planning Factory execution

Scope

For distributor range planning

Describe the intended application, market and color direction without assuming every reference can be reproduced.

Control

For project specifications

Share the construction, function and named test requirements. Confirm the evidence needed for the selected fabric.

Execution

When custom development is not needed

Use an existing design when it already meets the brief. A small stock requirement can be reviewed through the separate Ready To Ship range.
