What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity is 1 bolt (approx. 12m) per design.
How long are the delivery times for the fabrics?
Orders for our in-stock fabrics are dispatched from our warehouse in Berlin within 3–4 business days.
For fabrics ordered from Japan, the exact delivery date depends on the time of your order and the specific fabrics ordered. In general, delivery takes approximately 12–14 weeks after receipt of the order confirmation.
In some cases, faster delivery is possible via air freight. We work with both air freight and sea freight, depending on the shipment.
Occasionally, a fabric may be temporarily unavailable in Japan. In such cases, it will be shipped with the next available shipment from Japan. As a result, partial deliveries may occur.
As a rule, we dispatch fabrics as soon as they arrive at our warehouse, even if this means sending a partial delivery. If you prefer us to hold partial deliveries until the complete order is available, a deposit of 50% of the total order value is required.
Unfortunately, delivery delays cannot always be avoided in certain circumstances.
Do you have stock from which I can order?
Yes, we always have a selection of fabrics in stock that we can dispatch to you immediately. The dispatch of these fabrics only takes 3-4 working days.
You can order stock items directly via our online shop.
I have not yet received a fabric I ordered, when will it be delivered?
This fabric is probably not currently available in Japan. We are endeavouring to obtain this fabric for you as quickly as possible. However, it can happen that the weaving mills have to produce some designs first. These fabrics will be held back for you and dispatched to you as soon as they are ready. You can enquire about the status of outstanding items at any time.
