Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead. In Edmonton that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores, wholesale & trading houses and ethnic, festive & diaspora wear.

Stores in Edmonton plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

Trading houses in Edmonton sell on to shops and market traders, so they judge a supplier on consistent sizing, stable prices and on-time loading. We pack to the size curve of the buyer's customers and keep repeat styles in stock fabric.

The calendar in Canada sets the delivery window for abayas & kaftans. Cold winters, so fleece and knitwear sell from September to March; peaks include Black Friday, Diwali, Eid and back-to-school. 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 30–45 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 Edmonton 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 Edmonton, 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.

Colder months in Canada reward heavier weights and blends. For abayas & kaftans we propose Nida and crepe 130–180 GSM for the core range and jersey for hijabs for the cold-weather edit.

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 Edmonton 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.

Opacity and drape are the quality tests that matter. We check each fabric for opacity in light, confirm that the abaya hangs correctly on a model, and verify that embroidery does not pucker the fabric.

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.

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.
