Ordering Silk Scarves to Japan — Approve, Hold, Repeat

Ordering silk scarves to Japan — approve, hold, repeat

Japan is a silk scarf market built on repeatability. A Japanese buyer does not simply place an order; they approve a sample that becomes the standard, keep the mill lot for the same hand, and hold the colour on file — so the second order is indistinguishable from the first. Our whole process is arranged around that.

What "approve the standard" means

We produce a silk scarf sample in about 5–7 days. For Japan, approval covers the exact momme, the print detail, the hem and the colour of the mulberry silk scarf. That sample is then locked as the standard your bulk silk scarves are measured against, and the same mill lot is kept for reorders so the hand does not shift.

Order shape and timing

MOQ is low — 20 pcs per colour on stock silk scarves, 100 pcs per design for a custom printed silk scarf — enough for a boutique tester or a gift programme. Bulk runs 20–30 days after approval, then ships to Japan express (3–5 days) for small volumes.

Common questions

Can I keep an approved sample as the standard? Yes — the approved silk scarf is the reference for every reorder.
