BUYING SILK · 100% MULBERRY SILK · FROM A CHINESE MILL
We weave, dye and ship fabric. We do not dropship, and here is what we do instead.
Search terms like 'dropshipper' and 'distributor' get used loosely in this trade, and it is worth being precise about what we actually are before you plan a supply chain around us.
We are a mill. We weave, dye, finish and print silk, and we ship it to you — by the roll, by the cut length, or as a programme held against a retained sample. We do not dropship consumer parcels on your behalf, and we do not hold consignment stock in a third-party warehouse. What we do instead is below, and in most cases it is what a brand or a manufacturer actually wants.
Fabric supplied in your quantity, with stock held against a repeat programme so your next order does not wait on a dye lot.
We can deliver straight to your manufacturer with your reference on the packing list, which is the part of dropshipping that most brands actually need.
We do not pick, pack and ship individual orders to your end customers under your brand. That is a fulfilment business and it is not ours.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Are you a manufacturer? | Yes — weaving, dyeing, finishing and printing are in-house |
| Do you hold stock? | Yes — 300–500 m per colour on the stock families |
| Can you ship to my factory? | Yes, with your reference on the documents |
| Do you dropship to consumers? | No |
| Do you hold consignment stock abroad? | No — single site in China |
| Do you white-label the cloth? | Yes — your colour, design, width and packing |
Be clear about which address the goods go to and whose reference appears on the documents. Shipping direct to a manufacturer is routine and it is the part of dropshipping that brands usually need; what we will not do is hold your inventory and ship it onward one parcel at a time.
If your model genuinely needs a domestic warehouse, the honest answer is that we are not it — we are a single-site mill in China. What we can do instead is hold greige or finished stock against your programme so the lead time on a repeat is the freight time rather than the dyeing time.
These search phrases all land here because they mean the same thing:
If you were looking for a different commercial question, the wholesale page covers programmes and the ready-stock page covers what is on the shelf right now.
No. We are a manufacturer and we supply fabric in bulk, by the roll or in cut lengths, shipped to you or to your factory. We do not pick and ship individual consumer orders under your brand.
Yes. This is the part of dropshipping that most brands actually need and we do it routinely: give us the delivery address and any reference your factory needs on the packing list.
A mill. Weaving, dyeing, finishing and digital printing are done in our own operation, which is why technical questions get answered by the people who control the process.
Yes. Tell us the family, weight and colour for a repeat programme and we will hold against it, with a retained cutting from the bulk as the reference for the next shipment.
Exclusivity is a commercial arrangement rather than a standard product, and it depends on the territory and the volume. If it matters to your business, raise it and we will tell you what is possible.
