Remkan village in Qeshm Island is known as the beating heart of the wholesale and retail trade of luxury textiles in the south of the country. Sarai Sallekh Lace fabric is imported directly from the commercial ports of Dubai and Oman. The complete elimination of border intermediaries, providing certified fabrics and fair pricing have made this collection the main destination for masons, clothing designers and buyers of special clothes.
Ramkan market has a completely different structure from commercial complexes in Darghan or Qeshm city; This is the trading center for expensive fabrics, hand embroidery and specialized materials for evening wear. Those who are not looking for copy market fabrics and the material falling on their body is a priority for them, directly refer to Remkan fabric sellers.
Anatomy of Remkan fabric market and flow of luxury textiles
Ramkan has a strategic position in the distribution line of imported textiles. More than 70% of the stonework and delicate laces available in the country's market are first imported to Remkan from the Persian Gulf docks, and after sorting, they are sent to all over Iran. In practice, it has been observed that quick access to the latest Arabic and Turkish journals is an inherent advantage of the activists of this region. By continuously monitoring the supply chain of the Persian Gulf, Sarai Selkh Lace fabric imports samples that have not yet been unveiled in the maisons of the capital and other metropolises. This high product turnover guarantees that the buyer will not be faced with worn and old fabrics of the past years.
Technical distinctions of original cloths against market copies
Determining the quality of a high-quality dress fabric requires a detailed technical examination. In the following, we will review the points that we have recorded based on field experience in testing the used materials:
Net density and tensile strength
Base tulle in high-quality laces should have elasticity corresponding to the weight of handwork. In low-quality samples, the weight of crystals and beads causes the net to fall and the knots to tear during the first wash or while dressing. The fabrics presented in Selah Lace are produced from fine-textured and hypoallergenic silk nets that can withstand the weight of heavy decorations without being deformed.
Hand-stitching of stones and the delicacy of tapestry
Unlike mass production, where the gems are attached with heat and unstable glue, Remkan's luxury necklaces have a stitched and twisted connection. This delicacy prevents components from falling during cutting and sewing in the mesons. Our empirical testing shows that clean stitching on the back of the fabric and the absence of loose thread knots are the main criteria for distinguishing premium lace from second-rate work.
Color stability and response to natural light
Genuine home textiles are produced with stable cationic pigments. In the face of body sweat or strong lighting of the halls, the fluorescent layer and the main color of the fabric does not become cloudy, and the shine of the sequins and stones does not become matte.
Purchase approach for masons and household customers
Purchasing fabric from Remkan has a significant economic benefit for both evening wear manufacturers and buyers of one-time wedding gowns. The price difference in Remkan compared to luxury arcades in Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz is estimated to be up to 40%. Lace cutting has made it possible for a mason to have a workshop size and a personal buyer to get a specific piece of cloth at the same first-hand rate. Transparency in announcing the exact size of the pattern, checking the physical health of the fabric before sending and secure anti-tear packaging has solved the concern of absentee purchases.
Operational recommendations before selecting and cutting lace and embroidery fabrics
The cutting and sewing of this group of fabrics has specific problems. Before entrusting the garment to the tailor, the sleep of the sequins, the direction of the lace flowers and the symmetry of the designs on the pattern should be determined. In heavy dress fabrics, choosing the right lining (such as heavy satins or elastic crepes) plays a vital role in the final shaping of the dress. When buying, our experts check the texture and weight of the fabric and determine the thickness of the needle and the optimal sewing method to reduce fabric waste.
