Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead. In Kurunegala that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores and wholesale & trading houses.
Stores in Kurunegala plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

Who buys in Kurunegala and what sells with abayas & kaftans
Kurunegala is served through Colombo, with 1 day by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses and retail chains & stores.
Jeans: Denim is the garment that sells in every market: jeans are bought for every season, and retailers and wholesalers reorder washes and fits as sizes sell through. Many Kurunegala buyers add it to the same container.
T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Kurunegala buyers add it to the same container.
Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. Many Kurunegala buyers add it to the same container.
Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. Many Kurunegala buyers add it to the same container.
Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Kurunegala
A abayas & kaftans order for Kurunegala should be planned backwards from the selling season. Tropical and humid all year, so lightweight cotton sells constantly; the south-west monsoon runs from May to September. Peaks follow April's New Year, Vesak, Christmas and the school terms. 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 3–12 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 Kurunegala 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 Kurunegala, 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 Kurunegala
Sri Lanka has distinct seasons, so we split abayas & kaftans into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as nida and crepe 130–180 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as jersey for hijabs for autumn and winter.
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.
