Free FedEx Shipping on Technical Fabrics from Latvia — Now Live for Europe & the US

If you've been waiting to stock up on deadstock technical fabrics from our Latvian warehouse, now's the time. Every order over €100 ships free via FedEx to destinations across Europe and the United States.

Why Our Fabrics Come From Latvia

Northlayer Studio sources premium deadstock technical fabrics directly from Latvian production runs — the same rolls originally destined for European outdoor and performance apparel manufacturers.

Because we buy in bulk from factory closures and overruns rather than ordering new production, we can offer specification-matched technical fabrics — including Polartec fleece, softshells, ripstop nylons, stretch knits, mesh fabrics and more — at a fraction of standard wholesale pricing, with no minimum order requirements for most listings.

Riga sits within a well-connected EU logistics corridor, which means fast, predictable transit times to both Western Europe and North America. This is one of the reasons we can offer free FedEx shipping at a relatively low order threshold.

Free Shipping Details

• Every order includes tracking, sent by email as soon as your package ships.
• Orders under €100 ship at a calculated FedEx rate at checkout.
• Fabric is cut and shipped from our Riga, Latvia facility within 1–2 business days of order confirmation.

Approximate Customs & VAT Costs

Free shipping covers the courier cost. It does not cover customs duty, import VAT, brokerage charges or other import-related fees, which are set by each country’s customs authority and collected by FedEx or local customs where applicable.

Important: These are general estimates only, not guaranteed final costs. Customs duty and VAT depend on the specific product’s tariff classification, destination country and current trade regulations. Please check with your local customs authority or FedEx if you need an exact estimate before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I pay customs duties or import taxes in the US?

Duties, fees or customs processing charges may apply depending on the product classification and current US import rules. These charges are collected by FedEx or US customs directly and are not included in our free shipping offer.

Will I pay customs duties or import taxes in the UK?

Import VAT may apply to shipments into the UK, since the UK operates outside the EU customs union. Whether customs duty also applies depends on the specific fabric’s tariff classification.

Will I pay customs duties or import taxes elsewhere in the EU?

No. Since we ship from Latvia, an EU member state, shipments to other EU countries move as intra-EU trade with no customs clearance or import VAT at the border.

How long does it take to receive my order in the US vs. Europe?

EU orders typically arrive within 2–4 business days via FedEx. US orders generally take 4–7 business days, depending on destination and customs clearance.

Can I combine multiple fabric types in one order to reach €100?

Yes. The threshold is based on total order value, not per-item minimums, so mixing fabric types, remnants or zippers to reach €100 works fine.

Is there a weight or size limit for free shipping?

Standard FedEx parcel limits apply. For unusually large bulk orders — full rolls or pallet-sized quantities — contact us directly and we can arrange freight shipping with a custom quote.

Why This Matters for Small-Batch Production

For MYOG makers and small apparel brands, shipping costs on heavier technical fabrics — fleece, softshell, insulated linings and performance knits — can quietly eat into margins on smaller test orders.

Removing that cost above a reasonable €100 threshold makes it easier to order a proper sample range: multiple weights, colors or fabric families without the shipping fee making a first trial order less attractive.
