Why a design studio with partner mills, not a marketplace listing

A marketplace seller resells whatever one loom runs. We work the other way round: our three designers write the specification first — fibre, weave, colour, backing — and a partner mill weaves to it. That is what makes discontinued-pattern replication and Pantone colourways possible, and it is why every run ships with a lot certificate and two reference strips on file for the reorder. What we don't do: hold your market's certifications for you, or claim to own the mill.

“A 380 m² grasscloth run across lobby and corridor — custom-matched for a North American distributor supplying a coastal hotel project. Three trial strips in two weeks, batch-consistent across the full run.”
“1,800 m² of sisal across five properties for a mid-scale hotel chain — each property given its own matched dye lot, documented with individual lot certificates.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for trade buyers?

50 rolls, about 250 m², for a catalog pattern. Custom colourways, private label and pattern replication start at 100 rolls, about 500 m², per SKU. Stock patterns can go lower for a first distributor trial.

Do you offer trade pricing?

Yes. Trade buyers see the direct price from our partner mills plus our studio margin, with no showroom layer. Standard grasscloth starts around $45 per roll and sisal around $60; cork and wood veneer are priced per construction. Volume improves the price.

Are you a factory?

No. Grasscloths is a Chengdu design studio and trading company. Our three designers spec the material; one to three partner mills weave it. That is why we can match a discontinued pattern or a colourway rather than sell only what one loom runs.

What documentation ships with a trade order?

A material specification sheet, a per-batch lot certificate and physical samples. We don't hold these certifications ourselves — the brand or buyer certifies our material for their own market. We supply samples, specifications and per-batch documentation to support that process.

What are your trade terms?

EXW Chengdu by default; FOB Shanghai, CIF and DDP are arranged on request. Payment terms are confirmed on the pro forma invoice. Freight is at the buyer's cost throughout, samples included.

Which markets do you already ship to?

United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, India and the United Arab Emirates. Export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) ships with every order.
