How an order reaches Milan
Goods for Milan are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Genoa, and your clearing agent moves it on to Milan. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Milan usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.

Printed Shirts: Printed shirts are fast fashion for warm-weather and resort markets: designs age quickly and are replaced each season.
T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles.
Ladies Tops & Dresses: Women's tops and dresses are trend products: styles are bought for a season and replaced, so online sellers and boutiques value small, fast runs.
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.
Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers.
Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks.
Shirts: Formal and casual shirts are staple stock for menswear retailers and uniform suppliers, reordered as sizes and colours sell out.
Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly.
Abayas & Kaftans: Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead.
Caps: Caps are cheap to ship and easy to brand, so they feature in promotional orders, school and event wear, and retail accessory ranges.
Kurtis: Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival.
