Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Sumgait
A abayas & kaftans order for Sumgait should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons with cold, windy winters in Baku; winter lines are ordered by spring and spring-summer lines by autumn; peaks follow Novruz (March), the school year and the New Year. 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 25–40 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 Sumgait 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 Sumgait, 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.
