Planning your kidswear order for Gagnoa
The calendar in Côte d'Ivoire sets the delivery window for kidswear. Hot and humid, with a rainy season from April to July; peaks follow end-of-year festivities, Tabaski, Easter and school terms. For kidswear specifically, back-to-school in July–September in the northern hemisphere and January–February in the southern; festive and winter lines are ordered 4–5 months ahead. Our lead time is 35–50 days from approved sample, 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 kidswear in Gagnoa include children's boutiques, wholesalers supplying markets and chains, online baby and kids stores and schools and charities buying bulk clothing. In Gagnoa, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per design; sets can be mixed by size within a design and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Gagnoa
Because the climate in Côte d'Ivoire is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kidswear we recommend 100% combed cotton single jersey 140–180 GSM, with cotton poplin and voile for frocks as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: Newborn–24 months, 2–14 years; size by age and height with a graded spec chart. Colours: Bright and pastel palettes; gender-neutral colourways; character-free prints unless licensed.
Kidswear made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make kidswear in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Gagnoa 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.
- Colour: Bright and pastel palettes; gender-neutral colourways; character-free prints unless licensed.
- Size: Newborn–24 months, 2–14 years; size by age and height with a graded spec chart.
- Design and branding: own prints and applique designs, private-label woven or printed labels, matching family and sibling sets and gift boxes for baby sets.
About our kidswear
Children's clothes have to be soft, safe and cheap enough to replace, a combination that suits Indian cotton knitwear. Tiruppur factories are accustomed to buyers' safety audits and make baby and kids' wear in dedicated, segregated lines.
We insist on a safety review for each style: no small parts that can detach, no drawcords at the neck, tested dyes and flat seams. Where your market asks for a declaration, we send it with the shipment documents.
