Products
Hangzhou Fortunate focuses on midrange and high-end home textiles made of polyester, 100 percent cotton, polyester/cotton and synthetic fabric. It expects wrinkle-free home textiles to be among the hottest items.

Cotton is purchased from Shandong province, and polyester is procured from suppliers in Zhejiang province or South Korea.

Prices of linen and drapery depend on the type of material and thread count, size and decorative features. Design also affects the price. Low-end and midrange curtains, which are made of polyester, are priced at US$5 to US$12 per piece. High-end drapery made of chenille sells for more than US$12.

A bed linen set, which usually consists of a quilt cover, two pillowcases and a bedsheet, is priced at US$12 to US$30, depending on style, in addition to fabric and thread count.

Tablecloths come in oblong, oval, square and round versions. The smallest one measures 60x80 inches, and the widest is 60x144 inches. Price is US$2 to US$5 each.

Six R&D members release 500 new products annually, and produce samples based on customers' designs. About 80 percent of design work is done by computer, while the rest is done on paper.
