Planning your abayas & kaftans order for 6th of October City
A abayas & kaftans order for 6th of October City should be planned backwards from the selling season. Summers are hot and winters mild, so cotton sells year-round with hoodies from November to February. Peaks follow Ramadan, Eid, back-to-school (September) and the summer wedding season. 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 14–22 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 6th of October City 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 6th of October City, 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.
