Questions boutiques ask
Straight answers.
Duty, minimums, prices and delivery times. If your question isn’t here, ask us and we’ll add it.
01
Is there import duty on dresses from India to the UK?
No. Qualifying India-made garments enter the UK at 0% duty under the UK–India trade agreement (CETA), in force since July 2026. Every invoice carries an origin declaration, and we confirm the duty status of each style in writing before you pay.
02
What is the minimum order?
30 pieces per order: up to 3 prints, 10 pieces each, in UK sizes 8–16 (ratio 1-2-3-2-2). It is small on purpose, so you can test a print before committing to more.
03
How long does delivery take?
A sample pack takes 7–10 days. A bulk order takes about 4 weeks door to door: around 15 days to make, then shipping.
04
How much does it cost?
Wholesale from £14 a piece, delivered to your door (DAP). The sample pack is £39 for three dresses and is credited against your first order.
05
How do I pay?
50% when you confirm the order and 50% before dispatch, by international bank transfer. You get photos and a video of your finished order before the second payment.
06
Do I pay VAT on import?
Yes, UK import VAT at 20% is due on arrival, as with any import. VAT-registered businesses can usually account for it through postponed VAT accounting.
07
Will lots of other shops sell the same print?
No. The edit is made in limited runs: each print goes to six boutiques at most per season, across the whole UK, and then it’s sold out. Want a print nobody else has? Our Your label route makes your own. Ready-to-ship styles are not limited.
08
Can I see the fabric before ordering?
Yes. The £39 sample pack sends three finished dresses in UK 10, so you can check fabric, print and stitching. The £39 is credited on your first order.
09
What fabrics do you use?
Printed viscose and printed cotton (poplin and voile). Viscose drapes and feels cool; cotton is crisp and breathable. Every dress has a fibre-content and care label.
10
Do you have dresses ready to ship?
Yes. Alongside our own prints we keep a list of finished printed dresses ready to dispatch, from 30 pieces mixed across styles, usually within about a week of payment. Ready-to-ship styles are not exclusive to one boutique.
11
Can you put my own label on the dresses?
Yes, from your first order. We can sew in your woven neck label and a care label with your brand, and add swing tags and polybags with your name. We can also make your own print or shape from 30 pieces per design, after a paid sample.
12
Do you sell to the public?
No. We are a manufacturer and exporter, and sell wholesale to businesses only.
