Kidswear Supplier & Exporter in Surabaya, Indonesia

Surabaya is one of Indonesia's gateway ports, so containers from India land close to buyers. Traders in Surabaya buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Surabaya need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts.

Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. In Surabaya that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses, retail chains & stores and online marketplaces & d2c brands.

Trading houses in Surabaya 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.

Stores in Surabaya 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.

E-commerce brands in Surabaya reorder best-sellers in small lots, so short lead times, clear MOQs and reliable colour matching matter more than the lowest unit price.

Surabaya is served through Tanjung Perak; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses, workwear & safety clothing, schools, institutions & corporate uniforms and retail chains & stores. Kidswear also finds buyers in schools, institutions & corporate uniforms.

Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers. Many Surabaya buyers add it to the same container.

Jeans: Denim is the garment that sells in every market: jeans are bought for every season, and retailers and wholesalers reorder washes and fits as sizes sell through. Many Surabaya 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 Surabaya 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 Surabaya buyers add it to the same container.

The calendar in Indonesia sets the delivery window for kidswear. Tropical, so lightweight fabrics sell year-round; peaks follow Ramadan, Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr), back-to-school (July) and year-end sales. 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 10–20 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kidswear in Surabaya include children's boutiques, wholesalers supplying markets and chains, online baby and kids stores and schools and charities buying bulk clothing. In Surabaya, 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.

Surabaya is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of kidswear towards the lighter end of the range: 100% combed cotton single jersey 140–180 GSM or cotton interlock and rib for baby wear. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

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.

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 Surabaya 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.

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.

For wholesalers, size mix matters. Kids' sizes sell unevenly through the year, so we suggest a ratio based on the age profile of your customers, and we hold fabric for repeat orders of the sizes that sell out first.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Tanjung Perak, about 10–20 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Surabaya; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Polybagged with size stickers and in cartons of 50–100 pieces; gift packing for baby sets. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Machine wash cold with mild detergent, tumble dry low; do not bleach.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
