Mulberry Silk Scarf

Order FAQs

1. What momme weights and dimensions do you offer for mulberry silk scarves, and how do they affect the drape, sheen, and seasonal suitability?

We produce scarves in 12-30 momme weights across standard dimensions (e.g., 90x90cm, 140x140cm, 180x60cm). Lower momme (12-16) yields a lightweight, ethereal drape for spring/summer; mid-weight (19-22) offers versatile year-round wear with balanced sheen; heavyweight (25-30) provides substantial structure and warmth for秋冬. We provide drape samples to visualize the effect before ordering.

2. What printing techniques do you specialize in, and how do you ensure color vibrancy and detail accuracy for complex patterns like photorealistic prints or intricate paisleys?

We use digital pigment printing for unlimited colors and photorealistic detail (resolution up to 1440 dpi), and traditional screen printing for solid-color blocks and metallic inks. Our color management includes ICC profile calibration and pre-production strike-offs on actual silk to guarantee pattern clarity and Pantone accuracy (ΔE ≤1.5).

3. Can you produce scarves with hand-rolled edges, and what are the quality and cost implications compared to machine-stitched edges?

We offer both: Fully hand-rolled edges (3-4mm roll) require 15-20 minutes of artisan work per scarf, adding ~30% to cost but delivering a luxury finish with zero visible stitching. Machine-rolled edges provide a consistent 2mm roll at standard cost. We recommend hand-rolled edges for scarves above 22 momme where structure supports the roll.

4. What is your capacity for custom woven designs (jacquard/dobby), and what are the minimum yardage requirements for developing exclusive patterns?

Our vertical production includes electronic jacquard looms capable of 8-12 color patterns. Custom woven designs require minimum 300 meters per pattern/colorway, with a one-time carding fee for loom setup. Lead time is 10-12 weeks; we provide woven strike-offs for approval before full production.

5. How do you manage color consistency across different dye lots, especially for large orders or repeat production runs?

We implement a closed-loop dye system with computerized color matching and maintain a master dye library for each client. For orders over 1,000 scarves, we dye fabric in single batches where possible. For repeat orders, we archive dye formulas and provide batch-matching swatches for pre-production approval.

6. Can you add functional or decorative elements like fringe, tassels, or custom labels, and what are the minimums for these additions?

Yes, we offer:

Knotted fringe (silk or viscose): MOQ 200 scarves per fringe type/length

Hand-knotted tassels: MOQ 150 scarves

Custom woven labels: MOQ 1,000 labels

Hidden NFC tags for authentication: MOQ 500 scarves

All add-ons are applied during manufacturing for seamless integration.

7. What is your MOQ for custom printed or woven scarves, and do you allow design/color splits within the minimum?

MOQ is 500 pieces per design for digital printing, 300 pieces for screen printing, and 200 pieces for woven designs. Within the MOQ, we allow colorway splits (e.g., 3 color variations of the same pattern) with minimum 100 pieces per color. This enables small-batch collection development.

8. What sustainable certifications and eco-friendly options can you provide, such as GOTS-certified silk or low-impact dyes?

We offer:

GOTS-certified organic mulberry silk (30% premium, 4-week lead time addition)

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified dyes

Waterless digital printing option (reduces water usage by 95%)

Recycled silk yarn blends (50% recycled content)
