Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Morocco
A abayas & kaftans order for Morocco should be planned backwards from the selling season. Warm summers and mild winters, with spring and summer lines ordered from November. Peaks follow Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, summer tourism and back-to-school. 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 Morocco 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. Around Casablanca, Tangier and Marrakech, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Morocco
Because the climate in Morocco is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For abayas & kaftans we recommend Nida and crepe 130–180 GSM, with georgette and chiffon for overlays as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: Length 50–60 inches in even sizes, free size and plus sizes up to 5XL; kids 4–14 years. Colours: Black, navy, taupe, olive, burgundy and neutrals, with pastel kaftan prints.
Abayas & Kaftans made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make abayas & kaftans in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Morocco 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: Black, navy, taupe, olive, burgundy and neutrals, with pastel kaftan prints.

About our abayas & kaftans
Modest fashion is one of the fastest-growing segments of women's wear, and abayas and kaftans are its core. Demand is concentrated around Ramadan and Eid, which means orders must be planned months ahead; late orders arrive after the season and sell at a discount.
Indian factories in Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Surat combine fine crepe and nida with machine and hand embroidery. The best-selling styles are plain black abayas with refined details, which suit volume orders and fast reorders.
