Portable sewing kit, zip folio
One folio, nine pack sizes, 86 to 304 pieces. We quote it by the set; thread count, tool list and logo print are built to your programme.
A travel kit is judged twice: on the shelf, where the thread colours and the zip do the selling, and at home the first time a thread actually snaps. What fails is rarely the case. It is the thread, either too weak to pull through denim or so hairy it knots; the needle, whose eye was stamped and left with a burr that cuts the thread it is meant to carry; the scissor pivot, which loosens after a hundred cuts and starts folding fabric instead of cutting it; and the zip, which splits at the corner where the case is packed tightest.
The folio is the same across the whole range — black oxford face, zip round three sides, elastic loops on both leaves — and only the contents change. The small packs carry thread, needles and mending tools; the large ones add dressmaking shears, a pin wheel, crochet hooks, bobbins, clips and a pincushion. Same bag, same line, so a programme can open with a small pack and grow without changing the carton or the artwork.
What we can quote on this line
Small pack, 86–106 pieces
Thread, hand needles, snips, tape and a thimble in one folio. Enough for buttons, hems and a school uniform, and light enough to live in a suitcase rather than a drawer.
86 / 98 / 106 pcs
Mid pack, 131–213 pieces
Adds dressmaking shears, a 30-pin wheel and a needle tin. The pack shops reorder most, because it covers both mending and cutting in one case.
131 / 200 / 213 pcs
Large pack, 232–304 pieces
48 spools, both pairs of scissors, crochet hooks, bobbins, clips and a pincushion. Sells as a gift box and as the first kit on a sewing course.
232 / 304 pcs
The case and its contents
Shots of the range: closed, opened flat, and the two leaves in detail. The contents change with the pack size; the case does not.

What we check before it ships
Thread pulled, not looked at
A kit sells on colour and comes back on strength. We pull a length from every dye lot: if it snaps by hand before it reaches a needle, the lot is wrong whatever the label says. Colour fastness too — a red that bleeds into the white spool beside it ruins the case.
The eye of the needle
A stamped eye keeps a burr on the inside, and a burred eye cuts the thread exactly where the thread takes the most load. Ten needles from each box are threaded and pulled at an angle.
Scissor pivot and edge
A pivot that loosens turns shears into a fabric folder. We cut a folded cotton strip twenty times and look for a frayed edge; the screw has to hold without a tool.
Zip and corner
A folio is packed tightest at the corners, which is where a cheap zip splits. Every case is zipped shut and opened while loaded, and the corner seam is pulled, not just inspected.
This page is the specification, not a stock list and not a price. Thread count, tool list, case colour and logo print are built to your artwork.
