Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, WhatsApp us; we reply during shop hours, Monday to Saturday.

Ordering and wholesale

What kind of lace does Decent Lace Trader make?

We manufacture shuttle lace, known internationally as guipure lace, chemical lace or GPO lace: an embroidered lace with no net backing, made on shuttle machines in our Faisalabad factory. It comes in four sizes: zero size, medium size, center patti and scarf lace.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Minimum order is 500 pieces; from 1,000 pieces you get better bulk rates. Mixed colours within one design are welcome.

Do you export outside Pakistan?

Yes. We ship to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, USA, Europe, Bangladesh, Malaysia and other markets. Samples go by courier; bulk goes by air or sea freight with full export documents.

Are you a manufacturer or a trader?

We are the manufacturer. Our shuttle machines and our wholesale shop are both in Mintgumri Bazar, Faisalabad, so you buy at factory rates with no middleman.

How many colours are available?

Most designs run in ranges of 40 to 52 colours, including deep black, off-white, nude and the full fashion palette. Custom colours are available on bulk orders.

Can you make a custom lace design for my brand?

Yes. Send a sketch, a photo or a physical sample. We develop the design on our machines, send a strike-off for approval, and then run production in your colours.

How do I get prices?

Send the design number or photo, the size, quantity and destination country on WhatsApp or through the quote form. We reply with a wholesale quotation.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. Tell us which designs and colours you want to see and we will arrange sample pieces. Courier cost for international samples is quoted with the request.

Export and shipping

Which countries do you ship lace to?

We export to the Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman), the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Turkey, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa and Nigeria. If your country is not listed, ask: if a courier or freight forwarder serves it, we can ship.

What export documents do you provide?

Commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, plus any buyer-specific labelling you need on cartons.

What is the HS code for guipure lace?

Lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs is generally classified under HS heading 5804. Confirm the subheading with your customs broker.

How is lace packed for export?

Rolls are wrapped individually, bundled by design and colour, and packed in cartons. Carton labels show design, colour, quantity and your PO reference.

Lace sizes

What is zero size lace?

Zero size (zero number) is the narrowest guipure lace we make, roughly one centimetre (under half an inch) wide. It is used as a fine edging on hijabs, necklines, cuffs and kids wear.

Can zero size lace be made in my brand colour?

Yes. We run it in our standard colour range and can dye to a reference colour for bulk orders.

What is the most popular guipure lace size for ladies wear?

Medium size is our best seller. Its scalloped edge works on kurta hems, dupattas, sleeves and trousers, and it is available in the full colour range.

Is medium lace available in 50+ colours?

Yes. Most medium designs run in a 45 to 52 colour range, and we post new colour ranges on TikTok as they come off the machines.

What is center patti lace?

Center patti is a guipure strip that is plain and straight on both edges with the design in the centre. Because both sides are finished, it is stitched flat through the middle of a shirt front, panel or dupatta rather than along a hem.

Which lace is best for abayas and hijabs?

Scarf lace, our widest guipure at 3 to 5 inches with a deep scalloped edge, is the standard choice for abaya hems and sleeves and for statement scarf borders. Medium size suits lighter scarves and hijabs.

How wide is scarf lace?

Scarf lace is 3 to 5 inches wide (about 8 to 12 cm), the widest size we make. Exact width per design is stated on the quotation.
