What does “Powered by Tengiva” mean?

Tengiva is a software technology for the textile industry, backed by full professional services.

Every supplier and product featured on a platform powered by Tengiva goes through a verification process to meet consistent standards. This ensures that what you see is real, verified, and ready to source with confidence.


All products and suppliers are verified

Every listing on a Tengiva-powered platform goes through the same steps before it’s published.


Supplier verification

Only active textile businesses can publish. Physical product samples are required as part of the onboarding process.


Product availability validation

Tengiva accepts two types of products:

  • In-stock: physically available for immediate purchase.


  • Available for production: can be made to order within a clear and confirmed lead time
    Listings are only approved once availability has been validated.



Product data review

All product content—fiber composition, construction, weight, and finish—is reviewed by Tengiva’s internal textile professionals for accuracy and consistency.


Professional photography

Every item is photographed in our professional studio to reflect its true color, texture, and drape. You see the product as it is, with no stylized edits or filters.


Swatch and sampling service

If you need samples before making a decision, every product on the platform is eligible for swatching ($3.50 per swatch, 5 swatches order minimum. Free shipping for 10+) and available to source from minimums of 5 meters.
