The garment market in France

France is a major fashion market, with a large African and North African community that buys kaftans, long tunics and ethnic wear.

Buyers here are importers in Paris and Marseille supply retailers and online sellers; wholesalers in Paris buy kaftans and ethnic wear; brands source cotton and linen.

What buyers in France look for

Buyers want quality cotton and linen, T-shirts, shirts, and hoodies.

Four seasons; peaks include the winter and summer sales and Christmas.

Import rules and labelling for France

EU textile-labelling and REACH rules apply, with French-language labelling; duty is paid at the first EU point of entry.

Duties and taxes: Import VAT plus the EU Common Customs Tariff. 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 caps order for France

A caps order for France should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons; peaks include the winter and summer sales and Christmas. For caps specifically, caps sell strongly in summer, at sports events and in promotional campaigns; winter beanies are ordered by July for the northern autumn. Our lead time is 25–40 days, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of caps in France include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. Around Paris, Marseille and Lyon, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per design; 500 pieces for stock colours with simple embroidery 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 France

France has distinct seasons, so we split caps into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as cotton twill 240–280 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as acrylic knit for beanies for autumn and winter.

Sizes: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes. Colours: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.

Caps made in bulk to your colour, size and design for France

You are not limited to stock designs. We make caps in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the France 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: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.
  • Size: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes.
  • Design and branding: 3D puff or flat embroidery, woven and rubber patches, custom colours and linings and private-label inside tapes and tags.

About our caps for France

The details that separate a good cap from a poor one are crown shape, peak stiffness and embroidery density. We check all three on the first sample, and we pack caps stacked in boxes to protect their shape in transit.

Caps are also an easy add-on to a mixed container of T-shirts, polos and hoodies, giving a buyer a branded accessory range for very little extra freight.

  • Send logo files for embroidery digitising
