Kurtis Supplier & Exporter in Umm Bab, Qatar

Umm Bab's cement plant, quarries and nearby communities buy workwear and basics through Doha suppliers.

Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival. In Umm Bab that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores.

Retailers in Umm Bab 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.

Umm Bab is served through Hamad Port, with a few hours by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are workwear & safety clothing and retail chains & stores.

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

Polo T-Shirts: Polos are the world's most-ordered uniform top: hotels, security firms, schools and corporates reorder them for staff and renew them every year. Many Umm Bab 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 Umm Bab 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 Umm Bab buyers add it to the same container.

Timing decides whether kurtis sell at full price or at a discount in Umm Bab. Hot summers favour light fabrics from April to October. Buying peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (18 December) and the start of the school year. 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 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Umm Bab 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 Umm Bab, 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.

Because the climate in Qatar is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kurtis we recommend Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM, with cotton-linen and slub cotton as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

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 Umm Bab 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 Hamad Port, about 5–10 days, then a few hours by road to Umm Bab. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Umm Bab; 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.
