Fifty pieces per style is our white label abaya minimum order, and those 50 can be spread across sizes or lengths, and split across colours. A sample comes before bulk, and the lead time for your order is set out in the quotation, because it depends on the styles, fabrics and quantity you choose.
What the minimum covers
The minimum is counted per style. A style is one design, such as a closed abaya, in one fabric. Within it, you can mix sizes and lengths freely, and split across colours.
| Example order | How it counts |
|---|---|
| Closed abaya in nida, 50 pieces, sizes S–3XL | One style, minimum met |
| Open abaya in crepe, 50 pieces, black and beige | One style, two colours |
| Kaftan in chiffon, free size, 50 pieces | One style, minimum met |
| Prayer set in linen blend, 30 pieces | Below the minimum for that style |
| Closed abaya in nida and in crepe, 25 each | Two styles, each below the minimum |
The last line catches some first-time buyers. The same cut in two fabrics counts as two styles, because each fabric is cut and handled separately. The colour split within a style is confirmed at quotation, as it depends on fabric availability.
Sizes and lengths
Abayas can be sized S–3XL, or by length, which many abaya buyers prefer because height matters more than width for a loose garment. Kaftans and prayer sets are often free size. Send us the lengths you want, or your own size chart, and we confirm the measurements for each style. Lengths can be mixed within the minimum.
If you are unsure how to split lengths, start from your customers. A brand selling mainly to taller buyers will want more of the longer lengths; a brand with a broad audience usually weights the middle lengths and keeps fewer at each end. You can adjust the split freely on reorders, since the minimum stays the same.
The sample
We make a sample in your chosen style and fabric before you confirm the full order. Use it to check:
- Drape, how the fabric falls when worn and when walking
- Length, against the size or length chart you will publish
- Sleeves, their width and how they sit at the wrist
- Finish, including seams, hems and any closures
- Your label, its look and feel at the neck, and whether the care label is correct
- Embroidery, if you have asked for a discreet sleeve or front detail
If something needs to change, tell us before you approve. Bulk production follows the approved sample. Sample terms are confirmed in your quotation.
If you cannot choose between two fabrics, it is worth sampling both. Nida and crepe, for example, can look similar in photos but feel and hang differently.
From enquiry to dispatch
Every order follows the same steps:
- Enquiry. You send styles, fabrics, colours, sizes or lengths, quantities and branding.
- Quotation. We confirm each style, the price per piece, the branding, packing and lead time.
- Sample. We make it, and you check and approve it.
- Advance payment. This starts production.
- Production. Cutting, stitching, finishing and packing, following the approved sample.
- Quality check. Each piece is checked for stitching and finish before it is tagged and packed.
- Balance payment and dispatch. You pay the balance, and we dispatch.
We take enquiries from buyers worldwide. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
Planning around your timeline
We do not publish a fixed lead time, because it changes with the order. Tell us when you need the stock in your hands, and we will say in the quotation whether that date works.
A few things help keep a timeline on track:
- Send complete details at enquiry, including your logo and label artwork
- Reply quickly on the sample, with clear notes if anything needs changing
- Keep the first order simple: one or two styles, a few colours
- Allow time for shipping and customs, which depend on your destination
If you are planning stock for a particular season or event, start the conversation early. Seasonal demand for modest wear can be concentrated, and fabric in popular colours is easier to secure when the order is planned ahead. Tell us the date you are working towards in your first message, and we will plan the sample around it. A sample that needs a second round of changes is far easier to fit into a long plan than a short one.
What to send us
For a quick, accurate quotation, include:
- The styles you want, and the fabric for each
- Colours, with a reference if you have one
- Sizes or lengths, and the quantity of each
- Your logo, and the branding you need: woven or printed neck label, hang tag, embroidery
- How you want pieces packed
- The country where the stock will be sold, since requirements vary by country
Our page on minimum order and samples explains how sampling works across our range, and you can see every abaya style on our white label abayas page. Send us your details, even if some are still rough, and we will come back with a quotation and a suggested first order.
