Payment Terms for Sample Orders and Bulk Production
Sample Orders
For sample orders and all orders below USD 3,000, full payment is required before production begins.
This applies to sample development because fabric preparation, pattern adjustments, trims, labeling, and production time must be scheduled in advance.
Bulk Production Orders
For orders above USD 3,000, a 50% deposit is required to start production.
The remaining 50% balance must be paid before shipment.
Production will begin only after the required deposit has been received and confirmed. Shipment will be arranged only after the final balance has been completed.
Supported Currencies and Transaction Fees
The currency available for payment may depend on your region and the payment method you choose. If applicable, you may change the display currency using the currency selector shown on our website.
Please note:
- All bank transfer fees are the responsibility of the customer
- Any intermediary bank charges are also the responsibility of the customer
- Final received amount should match the invoice amount in full
If payment is made through an international bank transfer, please confirm possible deductions with your bank in advance to avoid underpayment.
PayPal Payments
If you choose PayPal, you will be redirected to PayPal’s secure payment page to complete your transaction.
Depending on PayPal availability in your region, you may be able to pay by:
- PayPal balance

- Debit card

- “Pay with Debit/Credit Card” without a PayPal account
