Planning garment orders for Kano
Hot and humid for much of the year, with rains from April to October. Demand peaks before Christmas, Easter, Eid and the wedding season (November to February), so orders are placed 3–4 months ahead. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Lagos in about 25–40 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Kano three to five months ahead.
How an order reaches Kano
Goods for Kano are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Lagos, and your clearing agent moves it on to Kano. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Kano usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.
Why importers in Kano source garments from India
Buyers want bold printed shirts, ready-made kaftans, T-shirts, jeans, leggings, school uniforms and church and wedding wear. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Kano who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
Importers in Lagos supply wholesalers at Balogun, Idumota and Onitsha; fashion boutiques buy shirts, kaftans and dresses; schools, churches and corporate buyers order uniforms and event wear. A mixed first container with two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles is the usual way in, and repeat orders then concentrate on what sells.

Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly.
Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks.
Track Pants & Shorts: Track pants and shorts serve sport, home and travel, and are easy for wholesalers to sell because they fit many body sizes.
Shirts: Formal and casual shirts are staple stock for menswear retailers and uniform suppliers, reordered as sizes and colours sell out.
Printed Shirts: Printed shirts are fast fashion for warm-weather and resort markets: designs age quickly and are replaced each season.
Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers.
Ladies Tops & Dresses: Women's tops and dresses are trend products: styles are bought for a season and replaced, so online sellers and boutiques value small, fast runs.
Abayas & Kaftans: Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead.
Caps: Caps are cheap to ship and easy to brand, so they feature in promotional orders, school and event wear, and retail accessory ranges.
