Abayas & Kaftans Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Nepal

Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.

Buyers here are wholesalers in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy fashion basics and festive wear; schools and institutions buy uniforms; tourism retailers buy printed and woven garments.

Buyers like cotton kurtis, T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets and school uniforms; Dashain and Tihar drive festive buying.

Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April.

Goods enter by road from India under the India–Nepal treaty arrangements or by sea through Kolkata; check customs and labelling rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: Customs duty plus VAT/GST under the national tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

The calendar in Nepal sets the delivery window for abayas & kaftans. Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April. 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 3–12 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 Nepal 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 Kathmandu and Birgunj, 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.

For Nepal we suggest planning abayas & kaftans in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.

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.

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 Nepal 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.

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.

Opacity and drape are the quality tests that matter. We check each fabric for opacity in light, confirm that the abaya hangs correctly on a model, and verify that embroidery does not pucker the fabric.

Nepal is landlocked, so cargo moves by sea to the transit port and then by road or rail. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Nepal; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Hanger-packed or folded in individual polybags; 20–30 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Gentle machine wash or dry clean for embellished abayas; steam rather than iron.

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.
