How It Works
Our custom scarf process is designed to be clear, structured, and approval-led, so your organisation can move from idea to finished product with confidence.
Step 1
Consultation & Requirements
Tell us about your project, quantity, timeline, preferred scarf size, intended use, artwork availability, packaging needs, and delivery location. We will recommend the most suitable route for your brief.
Step 2
Quotation & Design
We prepare a quotation based on fabric, size, quantity, finishing, packaging, sampling, and delivery requirements. If design support is needed, we can work from your existing artwork, brand guidelines, exhibition theme, destination, institution, or event concept.
Step 3
Sample Approval, If Required
For suitable projects, a physical sample or pre-production sample can be arranged before the full order proceeds. Production begins only after the quotation, design route, and approval process are agreed.
Step 4
Production & Delivery
Once approved, your order moves into production, finishing, packaging, inspection, and dispatch. UK delivery can include customs and VAT handling where applicable, helping make the process easier for business buyers.
Two Ways to Work With Us
Every project is different. We can support faster gifting projects using selected existing scarves, or develop a fully bespoke scarf from the ground up.
Custom Packaging for Existing Scarves
Choose from selected Herbert Accessory scarves and add branded presentation elements such as gift boxes, tissue, ribbon, cards, care labels, or message inserts. This route is suitable for faster timelines, smaller campaigns, and premium gifting projects.
Best for:
- Client gifts
- Staff appreciation
- VIP event gifts
- Smaller campaigns
- Projects with shorter timelines
Fully Bespoke Scarf Design
Create a scarf from the ground up using your artwork, brand identity, institution, destination, exhibition, or event theme. This route is suitable for museums, universities, hospitality brands, retail collections, corporate gifts, and commemorative editions.
Best for:
- Museum or gallery retail
- University and alumni gifts
- Hospitality and travel projects
- Limited editions
- Fully custom brand storytelling
Materials & Fabric Options
We help you choose materials according to the intended use, season, budget, design detail, and desired feel. We select silk and silk-blend fabrics for drape, print performance, colour clarity, and suitability for premium scarf production.
Mulberry Silk Twill
Woven in Hangzhou from mulberry silk, silk twill is a classic medium for scarf printing, dyeing, and elegant drape. It is suitable for corporate gifts, retail scarves, museum collections, and premium accessories.
16 Momme Silk Twill
16 momme silk twill is a classic, versatile weight suitable for most custom scarf projects. It offers a refined balance of softness, structure, colour performance, and comfortable wear.
19 Momme Heavy Silk Twill
19 momme heavy silk twill is a more substantial option with richer drape and presence. It may suit higher-budget projects, executive gifts, limited editions, and scarves where a stronger luxury feel is desired.
Silk-Wool Blend
Silk-wool blends are suitable for autumn/winter projects, cooler climates, and gifts where softness, warmth, and a more substantial hand feel are important.
Final fabric recommendations depend on your design, quantity, intended use, budget, and delivery requirements.
Customisation Options
Every project can be tailored to your brief, from artwork and size to finishing, labelling, packaging, and presentation.
Fully Bespoke Design
We can work from existing artwork, brand assets, architectural details, exhibition themes, destination imagery, institutional colours, or a written creative brief. Digital mockups are provided for approval before production.
Customised Packaging
Packaging options may include gift boxes, tissue paper, ribbon, branded cards, care cards, swing tags, belly bands, and message inserts. Packaging can be kept simple or developed as part of a complete gifting experience.
Special Finishing
Depending on the project, finishing options may include hand-rolled edges, machine-hemmed edges, printed labels, woven labels, and presentation finishing suitable for gifting or retail.
File Requirements
For best results, please provide vector artwork, high-resolution print files, brand guidelines, colour references, or existing design assets where available. If you do not have print-ready artwork, we can advise on the design route.
Quality Assurance
Quality is managed through clear approvals and checks at key stages. We focus on the details that matter when a scarf is worn, gifted, or sold.
Quality checks may include fabric weight verification, colour review, print clarity, edge finishing inspection, packaging review, and final order checks before dispatch.
Material Verification
Fabric options are reviewed for suitability, including weight, handle, drape, and intended use.
Production Checks
During production, print clarity, colour consistency, fabric handling, and finishing requirements are monitored.
Individual Inspection
Scarves are checked for visible issues, edge finishing, presentation, and packaging accuracy where applicable.
Final Review
Before dispatch, the order is reviewed against the agreed specification, including quantity, packaging, labelling, and delivery requirements.
Pricing & Quantities
Pricing depends on quantity, fabric, scarf size, printing method, finishing, packaging, sampling, and delivery requirements. We provide itemised quotations so business buyers can understand the key project costs before committing.
What Affects Pricing
- Quantity
- Fabric type and weight
- Scarf size
- Design complexity
- Edge finishing
- Packaging requirements
- Sampling requirements
- Delivery country and customs/VAT requirements
Flexible Project Guidance
Minimum quantities, sampling options, and production timelines depend on the project route, fabric, size, finishing, packaging, and delivery requirements. After reviewing your brief, we will recommend the most suitable option and provide a clear quotation before any production begins.
We aim to quote clearly from the start, including the main project costs such as materials, production, finishing, packaging, shipping, UK customs, and VAT where applicable. No full production begins without written approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects can you help with?
We can support corporate gifts, museum and gallery retail, university and alumni gifts, hospitality projects, travel retail, conferences, anniversaries, charity events, and limited-edition retail collections.
What are the minimum order quantities?
Minimum quantities depend on the fabric, production route, packaging, and level of customisation. For smaller projects, custom packaging with selected existing scarves may be more suitable. For fully bespoke scarves, we will advise the practical minimum after reviewing your brief.
Do I need to provide a design?
No. You can provide finished artwork, brand guidelines, or a design concept. If you do not have print-ready artwork, we can help develop a scarf concept from your brief.
Can I see a sample before production?
For suitable projects, a physical sample or pre-production sample can be arranged before the full order proceeds. Sampling options will be confirmed in the quotation stage.
Do you handle customs and VAT for UK delivery?
For UK business orders, quotations can include delivery, customs, and VAT handling where applicable. This helps make the buying process clearer and more predictable for UK-based organisations.
How do you manage quality?
Quality checks may include fabric weight verification, colour review, print clarity, edge finishing inspection, packaging review, and final order checks before dispatch.
What if I am not happy with my order?
Custom orders are produced according to an approved specification. If there is a production issue, we will review it against the approved details and work with you to find an appropriate resolution.
