Why Alexandria needs kurtis
Alexandria is one of Egypt's gateway ports, so containers from India land close to buyers. Traders in Alexandria buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Alexandria need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts. Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival.
Egypt is a large, price-sensitive market of over 100 million people, with Cairo and Alexandria supplying retail and wholesale across the Nile Delta, Upper Egypt and neighbouring Libya and Sudan.

Alexandria: the market for kurtis
Alexandria is one of Egypt's gateway ports, so containers from India land close to buyers. Traders in Alexandria buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Alexandria need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts.
Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival. In Alexandria that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses, online marketplaces & d2c brands and retail chains & stores.
Trading houses in Alexandria 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.
Online sellers in Alexandria need accurate size charts, consistent quality and fast restocks of winning styles, which suits small-batch Indian production with sampling and photography support.
Retailers in Alexandria restock shirts, T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and seasonal fashion every few weeks, and want private-label labelling, hang tags and barcodes applied at source so garments go straight onto the shop floor.
Who buys in Alexandria and what sells with kurtis
Alexandria receives containers locally; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses, workwear & safety clothing, schools, institutions & corporate uniforms and retail chains & stores.
Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers. Many Alexandria buyers add it to the same container.
T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Alexandria buyers add it to the same container.
Track Pants & Shorts: Track pants and shorts serve sport, home and travel, and are easy for wholesalers to sell because they fit many body sizes. Many Alexandria buyers add it to the same container.
Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. Many Alexandria buyers add it to the same container.
Planning your kurtis order for Alexandria
The calendar in Egypt sets the delivery window for kurtis. 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 kurtis specifically, orders for Eid, Diwali, Navratri and wedding seasons are placed 3–4 months early; casual cotton kurtis sell year-round, with summer lines peaking from January. Our lead time is 30–45 days including sampling; 20–25 days on repeat designs, 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 kurtis in Alexandria include ethnic-wear boutiques in the UK, US and Gulf, online fashion marketplaces, wholesalers supplying festive stock and retail chains with a South Asian customer base. In Alexandria, they usually order 300 pieces per design with up to 4 colours; 1,200–1,500 pieces per container order for mixed designs is common 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 Alexandria
Because the climate in Egypt is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kurtis we recommend Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM, with cotton-linen and slub cotton as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques. Colours: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.
Kurtis made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make kurtis in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Alexandria 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: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.
- Size: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques.
- Design and branding: own prints and embroidery designs, matching dupattas and bottoms, custom neck and sleeve patterns and private-label packaging and hang tags.
About our kurtis
To control returns, we measure a fit sample of each block, grade it carefully, and check measurements on every carton sample against the spec sheet, with particular attention to length, bust and sleeve.
The kurti has moved well beyond South Asian communities. Women in Africa, the Gulf, Europe and North America now buy kurtis as relaxed tunics, and retailers add them for the comfort and print. We work with units in Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata and Surat that print, embroider and stitch under one roof, which keeps the timeline short.
