Export shipping
Three ways your order reaches you
International wholesale orders are produced in the UAE and exported to your nominated port, warehouse or forwarder — we do not operate a facility in Africa.
Air freight for urgent orders
Air cargo for launch quantities, seasonal promotions and replenishment runs where speed matters more than freight cost.
Courier for samples & small runs
Express courier for pre-production samples, printed proofs, spunlace swatches and small trial quantities before you commit to a bulk order.
