Why Calabar needs kidswear

Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Calabar need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts. Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks.

Planning your kidswear order for Calabar
Timing decides whether kidswear sell at full price or at a discount in Calabar. 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. For kidswear specifically, back-to-school in July–September in the northern hemisphere and January–February in the southern; festive and winter lines are ordered 4–5 months ahead. Our lead time is 35–50 days from approved sample, plus sea transit of about 25–40 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of kidswear in Calabar include children's boutiques, wholesalers supplying markets and chains, online baby and kids stores and schools and charities buying bulk clothing. In Calabar, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per design; sets can be mixed by size within a design 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 Calabar
Calabar is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of kidswear towards the lighter end of the range: 100% combed cotton single jersey 140–180 GSM or cotton interlock and rib for baby wear. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
Sizes: Newborn–24 months, 2–14 years; size by age and height with a graded spec chart. Colours: Bright and pastel palettes; gender-neutral colourways; character-free prints unless licensed.

- Agree age-range and height-based size chart
- Confirm safety rules for your market
- Approve fabric hand-feel and shrinkage
- Choose print and applique details
- Set size ratio by age band

- Check the import and labelling rules for Nigeria: importers use Form M through an authorised bank before shipping, and duties and levies apply; used clothing is prohibited. Confirm current rules with your bank and clearing agent.
