1. We will send you a quote and if you require it, a digital a mock-up. Normally quotes are generated on the same day, or next day but special make requests could take a big longer.

4. You do have an option to request a photo or video (for larger orders) of the product before production or a sample to be physically sent to you. This adds time to your production process, and can incur costs
We deliver via sea freight, air freight, and for very urgent requests, via courier. We recommend sea freight as you can save up to 97% on your carbon footprint by planning ahead.
For European deliveries these are routed through our hub in Belgium.
For UK deliveries these are routed through our London based warehouses.
For ROW deliveries these are sent directly from our Indian hub or routed through the UK depending on the country of destination.
We endeavour to get your products to you on the timings that you request. We have an express and standard delivery service. There are flexible delivery options which we are able to work with (split deliveries, palletised options, deliveries to multiple locations).
Lead time depends on the complexity of the order and the chosen shipping method. It can range from anything from 10 days to 12 weeks but the majority are between 2 – 4 weeks from all approvals.
A pantone chart is available here however be aware that colours displayed on your computer’s screen might differ from reality.
If you require us to match your order dyed to pantone we strongly recommend you send us a physical swatch to match. E.g. a printed card, or a piece of fabric, or a printed paper.
Some prints will be done using differing inks and methods depending on your artwork and the colour of the substrate material. We use environmentally friendly inks which are non-toxic, and REACH compliant.
Artworks must be sent in high resolution format, at least 300-400 pixels (dpi). All colours must be in uncoated pantones (U numbers on the pantone chart). We accept files in: PDF, AI, PSD, TIFF, EPS (note as Jpeg files are a form of compression, they lose resolution each time they are opened and saved. Please do not use jpeg files for reproduction purposes).
Unfortunately we cannot accept low resolution artworks. However we have a graphic design service that can re-draw it at a cost. Just ask your sales manager.
Both methods have advantages depending on the result you are looking for. Screen printing gives a traditional finish, with softer colours and look. Digital is more bright and crisp.
Screen printing:
Screen printing uses1 screen per colour. A screen will apply 1 colour and you can print up to 7 colours per project. Screen printing is used to print on all sort of material such as textiles, plastic, paper and latex.
Digital printing:
This is a modern process that is monitored by a computer. Images are analysed and converted into a format which can then be printed directly onto the fabric. This process allows to print more detailed artworks. Since there is no screen to be developed prior to printing, it is faster than screen printing however more expensive.
Yes – we can do full, all over printing because we manufacture all our products on order. We can print fabric edge-to-edge prior to stitching the item unlike other stockists who have finished goods which are over-printed.
Velvet, deadstock leather, faux leather can be debossed or embossed.
Dead stock are fabric left-overs from previous production that we can use to do handles, pockets, lining etc… as a sustainable company, we make sure nothing is wasted.
We are proudly producing our bags in our own factory in Pondicherry, India. This allows us to control our supply chain and be ethical and sustainable. 90% of this workforce are women who work in all levels of seniority.
