Buyer FAQ

Can one care instruction cover every garment?

Care depends on the actual material, trims and construction, so each product must be reviewed before instructions are confirmed.

How should durability be specified?

Describe wear, care and appearance expectations and list any required test method or buyer standard for confirmation.

Can care labels be customized?

Share required languages, symbols, legal content, brand details and placement. Final content must match the confirmed product.
