One vertical house, five disciplines.

RIVER VALE began as a single ginning shed in Multan in 1994. Three decades later, we run a vertically integrated programme that takes raw Punjabi cotton through carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving, cutting and finishing — and ships it out as women's wear, technical jackets, hand‑tufted carpet yarn and fibre‑to‑yarn private labels.

Our customers are studios in Milan, sourcing offices in New York, atelier programmes in Tokyo, contract carpet brands in Frankfurt and quiet‑luxury labels in Copenhagen. We don't shout. We deliver.

— 01 / Women's Editions

Six collections, cut for the woman the world is watching.

Our women's programme runs across woven, knit and embellished. Each edition is designed in‑house, sampled in our Korangi atelier, and produced under a single shop‑floor manager for traceability from sketch to seal.

— 04 / Fibre‑to‑Yarn

Five rooms, one continuous flow from bale to cone.

Our fibre‑to‑yarn programme is the quiet engine room of the house. We buy raw cotton at the Multan auction, blend it under climate control, and walk it through five disciplines until it leaves the floor as a numbered, tested, traceable cone.

  1. Raw cotton fibre on harvest
    01

    Cotton selection & blending

    Daily cotton lot inspections at Multan and Sahiwal mandis. Micronaire, staple length and trash content are scored before bales enter the laydown.

    • HVI tested per bale
    • Up to 56‑bale laydown
    • Climate stabilised at 24°C / 55% RH
  2. Cotton fibre in production line
    02

    Carding & combing

    High‑production Trützschler cards convert lap into sliver. Comber noils target Pima quality outputs for our women's wear blends.

    • Trützschler TC 19i carding
    • 16% noil extraction on combed
    • Auto‑levelled draw frames
  3. Macro of yarn winding on industrial frame

    • Foreign fibre detection
  5. Finished textile fabric texture in studio light

    • Xorella conditioning
    • Per‑lot lab certificate
    • Karachi Port – 11 km
— 05 / Quality Standards

We test the cloth before the buyer can ask.

Every greige roll, every cone of yarn, every cut bundle is tested against an internal spec sheet that exceeds buyer tolerances by an average of 18%. Our lab is independently audited twice a year.

— 06 / Materials & Craftsmanship

We are obsessed with the hand of the cloth.

A fibre is a promise. A weave is a translation. A finish is the difference between a shirt and a memory. Below, the families we keep on the floor — and the handwork we still do, by hand, because no machine has improved on it.
