The calendar in Australia sets the delivery window for abayas & kaftans. Seasons are reversed; summer from December to February; winter ranges are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, Boxing Day and the end-of-financial-year sales. For abayas & kaftans specifically, orders peak before Ramadan and Eid, placed 4–5 months in advance; kaftans sell around summer and holiday seasons. Our lead time is 40–60 days; embellished styles can take 60–75 days, plus sea transit of about 20–35 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of abayas & kaftans in Adelaide include modest-fashion boutiques in the Gulf and Europe, wholesalers supplying Ramadan and Eid stock, online modest-fashion brands and retailers serving African Muslim communities. In Adelaide, they usually order 200–300 pieces per design; embroidered styles from 150 pieces and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Australia has its seasons reversed from Europe and North America, so abayas & kaftans must be ordered against the southern calendar: lighter fabrics such as nida and crepe 130–180 GSM for the December–February summer, heavier options for June–August.

Sizes: Length 50–60 inches in even sizes, free size and plus sizes up to 5XL; kids 4–14 years. Colours: Black, navy, taupe, olive, burgundy and neutrals, with pastel kaftan prints.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make abayas & kaftans in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Adelaide market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Modest fashion is one of the fastest-growing segments of women's wear, and abayas and kaftans are its core. Demand is concentrated around Ramadan and Eid, which means orders must be planned months ahead; late orders arrive after the season and sell at a discount.

Indian factories in Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Surat combine fine crepe and nida with machine and hand embroidery. The best-selling styles are plain black abayas with refined details, which suit volume orders and fast reorders.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Adelaide, about 20–35 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Adelaide; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Hanger-packed or folded in individual polybags; 20–30 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Gentle machine wash or dry clean for embellished abayas; steam rather than iron.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
