Product & Customization Overview
SKU 00482, the Gray Hawaii Palaka Sarong with Hawaiian Honohono Lei, is a custom beach wrap and lavalava built around a Polynesian island aesthetic. It is made from viscose/rayon, a soft and fluid fabric that drapes well for wrap styling. The print combines Hawaiian Palaka plaid elements with Honohono Lei floral motifs in a restrained gray palette, making it easy to coordinate with resort uniforms, swimwear, and accessory lines. The style supports custom artwork and sample-based development, which suits buyers looking to enter the mid-to-high-end resort market with a differentiated print.
Key Customization Levers
- Print customization: Custom artwork and sample-based development; motif scale, colorway, and repeat layout can be adjusted.
- Size customization: Standard beach wrap dimensions can be adapted to target markets; length-to-width ratio affects wrap styling and end customer fit.
- Edge finishing: Hand-rolled, machine-rolled, or fringe finishes are available, affecting cost and style positioning.
- Labels & packaging: Custom care labels, hangtags, and resort gift packaging can be arranged.
Design & Pattern Details
Palaka plaid draws on traditional Hawaiian dress culture, while Honohono Lei carries a clear island floral symbol. The gray treatment differentiates this wholesale beach sarong within the tropical print category: rather than relying on high-saturation color, it uses low-contrast layering that fits premium resorts, boutique buyers, and neutral-toned assortments. Three points deserve attention during sourcing:
- Repeat unit: The scale of the plaid and lei elements affects cutting waste and visual integrity after wrapping; confirm during sampling.
- Color consistency: Gray tones are sensitive to shade variation; confirm Pantone references or provide physical color standards.
- Composition flexibility: If you plan to extend into matching accessories such as headbands or small squares, keep scalable artwork files on hand.
Material, GSM & Quality
This style uses viscose/rayon, a common material among rayon sarong manufacturers, valued for drape, skin comfort, and beach suitability. GSM usually depends on the desired hand feel and style; common ranges should be confirmed with the factory. Lower GSM feels more airy, while higher GSM offers more body and better opacity. Buyers should evaluate:
- Shrinkage: Rayon may shrink on first wash; confirm pre-shrinking or allow size tolerance.
- Colorfastness: Beach use involves sun and saltwater; confirm wash, rub, and light fastness testing standards.
- Opacity: Light gray tones need attention when wet; adjust via GSM or fabric density.
- Hand-feel consistency: Bulk hand feel should match the sample; keep a sealed reference sample.
Size Grading & Wrap Fit
Sarongs are typically one-piece wraps, so sizing logic differs from dresses and centers on length and width relative to wrap style:
- Standard: Fits most adult women and can be worn as a strapless dress, high-waist skirt, or shawl.
- Plus size: Extra width and length are needed to ensure adequate coverage after wrapping.
- Resort program: A single size can simplify inventory, but confirm fit across body types.
- Structural details: Ties, hidden snaps, or elastic waistbands can improve wear stability and average order value.
MOQ, Sampling & Lead Time
This style supports small trial orders, which helps wholesalers and resort buyers validate market response before scaling. Actual MOQ depends on print technique, fabric GSM, and packaging; confirm item by item with the factory. Sampling and bulk lead times are affected by artwork complexity, order volume, and peak-season scheduling, so plan ahead of resort seasons. A practical sourcing rhythm:
- Confirm artwork files and color standards → sampling → sealed sample → bulk scheduling.
- Start sampling 2–3 months before peak season to avoid production congestion.
- Use small trial orders to test channel feedback, then place repeat orders.
FOB Pricing & Payment
Pricing is quoted by MOQ tier and depends on fabric GSM, print technique, edge finishing, packaging, and order volume; a single figure is not meaningful. Payment terms are usually deposit plus balance, with specific ratios and trade terms confirmed with the factory. For comparable FOB quotes, share target quantity, destination market, and packaging requirements in your inquiry.
