A abayas & kaftans order for Diamniadio should be planned backwards from the selling season. Hot, dry seasons with a short rainy season from July to October; peaks follow Tabaski, Korité, Tamkharit and Christmas. 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 25–40 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 Diamniadio 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. In Diamniadio, 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.

Diamniadio is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of abayas & kaftans towards the lighter end of the range: Nida and crepe 130–180 GSM or cotton and linen-blend kaftans. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

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 Diamniadio 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.

Modest fashion is one of the fastest-growing segments of women's wear, and abayas and kaftans are its core. Demand is concentrated around Ramadan and Eid, which means orders must be planned months ahead; late orders arrive after the season and sell at a discount.

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.

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.
