Design & Pattern Details
The Ngatu Fonulei pattern draws on geometric motifs from traditional Tongan bark cloth, set against a black ground with strong line contrast that balances ethnic identity with a modern resort feel. Key design points for procurement:
- Pattern placement: Check how the main motifs read both flat and when wrapped, so key elements are not hidden by the knot.
- Color customization: The black ground can be retained or adjusted to brand colors; Pantone references or physical swatches are recommended.
- Edge finish: Confirm rolled hem or fringe details; fringe length and density affect style and cost.
- Coordinated sets: The same print can extend to beach towels and hair accessories for set selling and higher average order value.
Material, GSM & Quality
This style uses viscose/rayon, which is soft and drapey, ideal for wrapping against the skin. Confirm the following with the factory:
- GSM: Usually depends on style and hand-feel requirements; lighter weights suit hot climates, while slightly heavier weights drape better. Please confirm exact GSM with the factory.
- Shrinkage: Rayon may shrink on first wash; ask about pre-shrinking and shrinkage test reports.
- Colorfastness: Black-ground prints need attention to wet rubbing and wash fastness to avoid bleeding; request test data.
- Printing method: Screen printing or digital printing can be selected based on order volume and pattern detail; screen printing is usually more cost-effective for bulk orders.
Size Grading & Fit
Sarongs are typically supplied in rectangular dimensions, with common sizes depending on wrap style and target market. Clarify:
- Flat dimensions (length × width) and acceptable tolerances.
- Whether one-size or graded sizes are offered; if graded, confirm the size chart for each.
- How the print scales across sizes to avoid distortion or imbalance.
- If coordinating with dresses or other categories, unify the print and confirm pattern integrity after grading.
