Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. In Invercargill that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores and wholesale & trading houses.

Stores in Invercargill plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

Trading houses in Invercargill 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.

Invercargill is served through Dunedin, with 1 day by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are retail chains & stores and wholesale & trading houses.

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 Invercargill buyers add it to the same container.

T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Invercargill buyers add it to the same container.

Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. Many Invercargill buyers add it to the same container.

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. Many Invercargill buyers add it to the same container.

The calendar in New Zealand sets the delivery window for leggings. Seasons are reversed; winter lines are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, summer holidays and Matariki. For leggings specifically, leggings sell all year; fleece-lined styles peak for autumn-winter orders placed May–August. Our lead time is 25–35 days; 20 days on repeat colours, 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 leggings in Invercargill include women's apparel wholesalers, retail chains and supermarkets, ethnic and fusion-wear boutiques and private-label fashion brands. In Invercargill, they usually order 1,500–3,000 pieces per container colour mix; 500 pieces per colour for stock jersey and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

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

Sizes: Free size (fits S–L), XL–3XL, and numeric sizing 26–40 inches; plus-size 4XL–6XL on request. Colours: 50+ solid colours, melange and prints; dyed to Pantone in bulk.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make leggings in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Invercargill 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.

A good legging holds its shape after fifty washes, stays opaque when stretched, and has a waistband that does not roll. We test for all three, and we reject lots where recovery or opacity falls below the agreed standard.

Because colours are the main variable, we recommend a stock palette of 20–30 colours with a few seasonal additions, so you can reorder the best sellers in smaller lots with a short lead time.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Dunedin, about 20–35 days, then 1 day by road to Invercargill. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Invercargill; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Individually polybagged and packed 100–150 pieces per carton; compressed packing for freight savings. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Machine wash cold, inside out, do not tumble dry high; avoid fabric softener.

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.
