FAQ

Wholesale Sherpa for Germany — FAQ

Do you provide OEKO-TEX documentation for German brands?
Yes. This fabric is 100% polyester, so the certificate that applies is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I, covering dyeing and finishing at our certified dyehouse partner. We provide the certificate copy and a fibre composition declaration on request. GOTS and BCI apply to our cotton fabrics only.

Yes. EUR invoicing is standard for German buyers, settled by SEPA transfer or international wire.

What is the width of Sherpa fabric?
Sherpa fabric is 160-170 cm wide. Always confirm the width before planning your cut: the fabric is sold by weight, so metre yield depends directly on it.
