Why do you use polyester, nylon...?
It is very important to consider the practicality, durability and value for money of our products within the design process. These fabrics help to ensure our products perform well in today’s hectic lifestyle, taking into account economic factors and the weather.
What is the procedure for making a bespoke product?
The procedure varies from one product to another. It always starts with you, the customer, contacting us with your thoughts about what you want to develop (please refer to Custom design introduction).
How do you ship your goods from China?
In order to minimise our carbon footprint, we combine lots of orders and ship them together in large volumes. We do as few shipments as possible to the UK and therefore keep carbon emissions at the lowest possible levels. We do not advocate airfreight, as the impact on the environment and financial costs are significantly higher.
