Quality and compliance

The standards the paperwork is built on

Inspection, labelling, documents and fulfilment standards, written down so that a buyer, a marketplace or an auditor can check them against what actually arrives.

Quality control

Incoming, in-line, pre-shipment, on arrival

Four checkpoints. A lot that fails one is not moved forward on a promise.

  1. Incoming material

    Yarn, fabric and hardware are checked against the agreed specification. Composition is tested by an accredited laboratory and the lot is held until the result is in.

  2. In production

    In-line checks at the agreed milestones: stitch and seam integrity, colour continuity, measurements and workmanship.

  3. Before shipment

    Pre-shipment inspection on a sampling basis, with measurement reports, metal detection on finished accessories and photographic records retained for 12 months.

  4. On arrival

    Any damage or discrepancy found on inbound receipt is recorded and reported before the consignment is put away.

Labels and packaging

What is printed, and where it has to be right

Fibre composition is the most common cause of a listing suspension. It is tested, not assumed.

Fulfilment standard

What we hold ourselves to once goods are in the United States

  • In-stock orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of release.
  • Carrier tracking is returned to the seller as it is generated, not batched weekly.
  • Delivery confirmation is taken from carrier data, and exceptions are investigated rather than left open.
  • Every batch closes with a fulfilment report showing orders fulfilled, exceptions and returns processed.
  • Consumer-facing documents and parcel markings carry the seller's identity, not ours.
