Does shell cope with humidity?
Shell is a hard mineral material and does not swell or warp; strong bleach can dull the polish, so test uniforms in your wash.
Can handloom brands order small quantities?
Retail packs for starters; wholesale per size from the quoted minimum.
Do you offer samples before a bulk order?
Yes. Samples of your chosen size, hole type and shade are sent before production starts, so you can check them on your own fabric and machines.
What is the minimum order?
Stock sizes usually start at 500 to 1,000 pieces per size for wholesale pricing; the exact figure is confirmed in your quote. Retail packs are available on our online shop.
