Kurtis Supplier & Exporter in Wellington, New Zealand

As the capital, Wellington concentrates New Zealand's importers, head offices and institutional buyers. Contractors around Wellington clothe whole crews with workwear and safety garments. Malls, chains and independent shops in Wellington restock with imported fashion basics.

Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival. In Wellington that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores, online marketplaces & d2c brands and wholesale & trading houses.

Retailers in Wellington restock shirts, T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and seasonal fashion every few weeks, and want private-label labelling, hang tags and barcodes applied at source so garments go straight onto the shop floor.

Online sellers in Wellington need accurate size charts, consistent quality and fast restocks of winning styles, which suits small-batch Indian production with sampling and photography support.

Trading houses in Wellington 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.

Wellington receives containers locally; its strongest garment sectors are workwear & safety clothing, retail chains & stores, wholesale & trading houses and online marketplaces & d2c brands. Kurtis also finds buyers in fashion brands & private label.

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

Printed Shirts: Printed shirts are fast fashion for warm-weather and resort markets: designs age quickly and are replaced each season. Many Wellington buyers add it to the same container.

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. Many Wellington 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 Wellington buyers add it to the same container.

A kurtis order for Wellington should be planned backwards from the selling season. Seasons are reversed; winter lines are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, summer holidays and Matariki. 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 20–35 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Wellington 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 Wellington, 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.

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

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 Wellington 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.

Design cycles are quick: a design that sells can be repeated within three weeks. We photograph every sample on a model and send size charts and fabric details so your buyers or online listings are ready before the goods arrive.

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.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Wellington, about 20–35 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Wellington; 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.
