The garment market in Australia
Australia is a high-income market with strong online fashion retail, a large Indian community and a mining and construction sector that buys workwear.
Buyers here are importers in Sydney and Melbourne supply retailers and online sellers; ethnic-wear wholesalers buy kurtis and fabrics; mining and construction firms buy hi-vis and workwear.
What buyers in Australia look for
Buyers want quality cotton basics, activewear, linen and resortwear, ethnic wear, hi-vis workwear and school uniforms.
Seasons are reversed; summer from December to February; winter ranges are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, Boxing Day and the end-of-financial-year sales.
Import rules and labelling for Australia
Garments need country-of-origin and fibre labelling under the Australian consumer law; children's wear follows safety standards; the India–Australia agreement may reduce duties.
Duties and taxes: 10% GST on imports, plus 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.
Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Australia
The calendar in Australia sets the delivery window for abayas & kaftans. Seasons are reversed; summer from December to February; winter ranges are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, Boxing Day and the end-of-financial-year sales. 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 20–35 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 Australia 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 Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Australia
Australia has its seasons reversed from Europe and North America, so abayas & kaftans must be ordered against the southern calendar: lighter fabrics such as nida and crepe 130–180 GSM for the December–February summer, heavier options for June–August.
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.
Abayas & Kaftans made in bulk to your colour, size and design for Australia
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 Australia 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.
- Colour: Black, navy, taupe, olive, burgundy and neutrals, with pastel kaftan prints.
- Size: Length 50–60 inches in even sizes, free size and plus sizes up to 5XL; kids 4–14 years.
- Design and branding: own embroidery and lace designs, custom sleeve and closure details, exclusive designs per market and private-label tags and packaging.
About our abayas & kaftans for Australia
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.
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.
Buyer's checklist for ordering abayas & kaftans for Australia
- Place orders 4–5 months before Ramadan
- Approve fabric drape and opacity
- Decide embellishment level and cost
- Set the length range for your market
- Confirm matching hijab or shawl
- Agree packing: hanger or folded
- Check the import and labelling rules for Australia: garments need country-of-origin and fibre labelling under the Australian consumer law; children's wear follows safety standards; the India–Australia agreement may reduce duties.
- Agree Incoterms (FOB, CFR or CIF Melbourne) and the payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
How we ship abayas & kaftans to Australia
