Manufacturing Excellence: The Art of Pointelle
Creating a flawless pointelle (openwork) pattern on a 16-gauge machine separates master knitters from standard factories:
Precision Programming: Pointelle involves deliberately transferring stitches to create tiny, delicate holes (lace effect). If the yarn tension is uneven, the holes will look messy and the garment will lose its shape. Our Shima Seiki machines are rigorously programmed to ensure perfect geometric symmetry across the entire bodice.
The Silk Advantage: The 70% Silk composition is crucial here. Silk yarn has exceptional tensile strength, preventing the delicate pointelle holes from breaking or tearing, while providing a stunning, fluid drape that pure cotton cannot achieve.
Fully Fashioned Plackets: The polo placket and collar are fully fashioned and intricately linked by hand to ensure they lie completely flat, providing a sharp, tailored finish around the neck.
Advanced OEM Customization
Custom Openwork: You are not limited to our standard patterns. We can program custom pointelle designs—from vertical micro-stripes to complex floral lace motifs—based on your tech pack.
Hardware Sourcing: Elevate the polo placket by specifying genuine Mother-of-Pearl (MOP) buttons, tonal enamel buttons, or a modern zip-up closure.
Frequently Asked Questions (OEM/B2B FAQ)
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom pointelle programming?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style/colorway.
Q2: Is the pointelle fabric too see-through?
A: The micro-holes inherent in pointelle knitting do create a semi-sheer effect. This is highly desired in resort wear, as it looks stunning layered over a solid camisole, a bralette, or even swimwear. We can adjust the spacing of the pointelle pattern to increase or decrease the overall opacity based on your preference.
Q3: Can we make this in 100% Fine Cotton instead of Silk/Cashmere?
A: Absolutely. While Silk/Cashmere offers the highest luxury feel, 100% Fine Mercerized Cotton is an excellent, cost-effective alternative for executing crisp pointelle patterns in summer collections.
Q4: How long does pointelle sample production take?
A: Because pointelle requires specific machine programming and tension testing, custom sampling typically takes 10-14 days.
