When a European boutique resort approached us with a vision for a custom pagoda beach umbrella that combined distinctive aesthetics with demanding functionality, we embraced the project—even for a small-batch order of just 300 units. This case highlights our ability to turn unique concepts into reality, offering end-to-end customization from frame to fabric, backed by a rigorous sampling process that ensures every detail meets client specifications.

Client Requirements
A luxury beach resort in the south of France needed a pagoda-style beach umbrella to serve as both a decorative centerpiece and a durable shade solution for their coastal lounge areas. Their key custom requests included:
· Pagoda-shaped canopy: Tiered, tapered design with a scalloped edge and tassel trim for a vintage aesthetic.
· Custom fabric & print: UV-resistant polyester with a custom digital mermaid-scale pattern in brand-specific pink.
· Enhanced structure: Reinforced aluminum ribs (16 ribs vs. standard 8) for wind resistance, plus an adjustable-height pole with cross base for sand stability.
· Small-batch production: Only 300 units, with a 4-week turnaround from sampling to delivery.

Our Customization & Sampling Process
We treat every small-batch order with the same precision as large runs. Here’s how we delivered:
1. Design Translation: Our team converted initial sketches into 3D renderings, refining the pagoda taper and tassel length over 3 iterations.
2. Multi-Stage Prototyping:
· Prototype 1 (Frame): A bare frame sample tested for structure; we increased rib thickness from 5.0mm to 6.0mm after client wind-load feedback.
· Prototype 2 (Fabric): Printed fabric sample submitted for color matching; adjusted saturation twice to meet Pantone standards.
· Prototype 3 (Full Sample): Complete umbrella with all custom details approved before production.
3. Dedicated Small-Batch Production: A separate QC-monitored line ensured consistency across all 300 units.
