Lamu: the market for kurtis

Lamu is one of Kenya's gateway ports, so containers from India land close to buyers. Traders in Lamu buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Lamu need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts.

Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival. In Lamu that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses, ethnic, festive & diaspora wear and retail chains & stores.

Trading houses in Lamu sell on to shops and market traders, so they judge a supplier on consistent sizing, stable prices and on-time loading. We pack to the size curve of the buyer's customers and keep repeat styles in stock fabric.

Ethnic-wear retailers in Lamu stock Indian-made kurtis, leggings, dupattas and fabrics for weddings and festivals, with strong demand for new designs each season.

Retailers in Lamu restock shirts, T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and seasonal fashion every few weeks, and want private-label labelling, hang tags and barcodes applied at source so garments go straight onto the shop floor.

Who buys in Lamu and what sells with kurtis

Lamu receives containers locally; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses, workwear & safety clothing, retail chains & stores and ethnic, festive & diaspora wear.

Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers. Many Lamu buyers add it to the same container.

Planning your kurtis order for Lamu

The calendar in Kenya sets the delivery window for kurtis. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. For kurtis specifically, orders for Eid, Diwali, Navratri and wedding seasons are placed 3–4 months early; casual cotton kurtis sell year-round, with summer lines peaking from January. Our lead time is 30–45 days including sampling; 20–25 days on repeat designs, plus sea transit of about 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Lamu include ethnic-wear boutiques in the UK, US and Gulf, online fashion marketplaces, wholesalers supplying festive stock and retail chains with a South Asian customer base. In Lamu, they usually order 300 pieces per design with up to 4 colours; 1,200–1,500 pieces per container order for mixed designs is common 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 Lamu

Because the climate in Kenya is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kurtis we recommend Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM, with cotton-linen and slub cotton as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

Sizes: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques. Colours: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.
