Kurtis Supplier & Exporter in Onne, Nigeria

Onne is one of Nigeria's gateway ports, so containers from India land close to buyers. Contractors around Onne clothe whole crews with workwear and safety garments. Wholesale markets in Onne buy mixed containers of basics, kidswear and jeans.

Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival. In Onne that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses.

Trading houses in Onne 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.

Onne receives containers locally; its strongest garment sectors are workwear & safety clothing and wholesale & trading houses.

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

Workwear & Corporate Uniforms: Mines, oil sites, contractors, hotels and hospitals clothe whole crews, and re-clothe them when contracts start or garments wear out. Many Onne buyers add it to the same container.

Shirts: Formal and casual shirts are staple stock for menswear retailers and uniform suppliers, reordered as sizes and colours sell out. Many Onne 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 Onne buyers add it to the same container.

Timing decides whether kurtis sell at full price or at a discount in Onne. Hot and humid for much of the year, with rains from April to October. Demand peaks before Christmas, Easter, Eid and the wedding season (November to February), so orders are placed 3–4 months ahead. 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 25–40 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Onne 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 Onne, 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.

Onne is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of kurtis towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM or rayon challis and viscose crepe. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

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.

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 Onne 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.

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.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Onne, about 25–40 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Onne; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Folded in individual polybags with design and size stickers, 40–60 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold, dry in shade, iron on reverse; embroidered pieces should be washed separately.

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.
