Design development
We review reference photos, sketches or tech packs, then assess motif connection, garment construction, yarn direction and commercial feasibility.
China Manufacturing ยท Water-Soluble Embroidery
Crochet-Look Apparel Made for Scalable Production
TALOVEA is a Foshan, China-based OEM/ODM manufacturer developing water-soluble embroidery garments with a handcrafted crochet-look effect for fashion brands, wholesalers and sourcing teams.
What the technique means
Water-soluble embroidery creates crochet-like texture with repeatable production control
The design is embroidered onto a water-soluble base. After the supporting material is removed, the connected embroidery structure remains and can be developed into garment panels. This approach helps brands achieve openwork, floral and geometric crochet aesthetics while keeping patterns, measurements and repeat orders more consistent than fully hand-made production.
China supply coordination
Foshan-based coordination connects embroidery development, garment making, trims, labels, packaging, inspection and export preparation.
Brand-ready customization
Custom colors, pattern scale, measurements, size grading, private labels and packing can be confirmed during sampling.

FAQ
Questions sourcing teams ask before sampling
Can you develop a sample from a picture?
Yes. A clear front and back reference, target measurements, preferred material direction and target quantity help us assess feasibility. A tech pack is preferred but not required for the initial review.
What is the MOQ?
The standard production MOQ starts from 300 pieces per style. Final planning depends on construction, color count, material, pattern complexity and packaging requirements.
How long does sampling take?
Our target sampling time is 7 days after the design direction, material, measurements and commercial details are confirmed.
Is every product hand crocheted?
No. TALOVEA specializes in water-soluble embroidery and crochet-look garment construction. We describe the technique clearly so buyers can select the right production route for their collection.
