Abayas & Kaftans Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Sweden

Sweden is a high-income market with one of Europe's strongest online retail sectors, an international fashion industry and a strong interest in sustainable, certified garments.

Buyers here are importers and brands in Stockholm and Gothenburg supply retailers and online sellers; fashion labels source organic cotton and private-label basics; healthcare and hospitality firms buy uniforms.

Buyers want organic and certified cotton, T-shirts, hoodies, shirts, linen and activewear in minimal designs, and good documentation of supply chains.

Long cold winters mean heavy fleece and knitwear sells from September to March, while light cotton sells in the short summer; peaks include Black Friday, Christmas and midsummer.

EU textile labelling and REACH rules apply, with Swedish or English labelling; buyers often require OEKO-TEX, GOTS or amfori BSCI documents and chemical declarations.

Duties and taxes: Import VAT plus EU / EEA customs duty. 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.

A abayas & kaftans order for Sweden should be planned backwards from the selling season. Long cold winters mean heavy fleece and knitwear sells from September to March, while light cotton sells in the short summer; peaks include Black Friday, Christmas and midsummer. 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 25–35 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 Sweden 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 Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, 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 Sweden 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 Sweden 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.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Gothenburg, about 25–35 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Sweden; 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.
