Why New Zealand needs abayas & kaftans
New Zealand is a small, high-income market with a large Pacific and Indian community, strong outdoor and workwear needs and a growing online retail sector.
Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead.
Retail chains & stores in New Zealand
Shopping malls and high-street retailers in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch are a steady source of orders for fashion basics, with buyers watching quality, fit consistency and delivery dates closely.
In New Zealand, department stores and shopping-mall brands buy abayas & kaftans from us mainly for boutiques and multi-brand fashion stores and diaspora and ethnic-wear retailers.

The garment market in New Zealand
New Zealand is a small, high-income market with a large Pacific and Indian community, strong outdoor and workwear needs and a growing online retail sector.
Buyers here are importers in Auckland supply retailers and online sellers; wholesalers buy ethnic and Pacific-print wear; construction and farming firms buy workwear.

Import rules and labelling for New Zealand
Garments need country-of-origin and fibre labelling; children's wear follows safety standards; check duty with your broker.
Duties and taxes: 15% GST on imports, plus customs duty. 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 abayas & kaftans order for New Zealand
Timing decides whether abayas & kaftans sell at full price or at a discount in New Zealand. Seasons are reversed; winter lines are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, summer holidays and Matariki. 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 20–35 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 New Zealand 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. Around Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, 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 New Zealand
For New Zealand we suggest planning abayas & kaftans in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.
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.
Abayas & Kaftans made in bulk to your colour, size and design for New Zealand
You are not limited to stock designs. We make abayas & kaftans in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the New Zealand 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: Black, navy, taupe, olive, burgundy and neutrals, with pastel kaftan prints.
- Size: Length 50–60 inches in even sizes, free size and plus sizes up to 5XL; kids 4–14 years.
- Design and branding: own embroidery and lace designs, custom sleeve and closure details, exclusive designs per market and private-label tags and packaging.
About our abayas & kaftans for New Zealand
Opacity and drape are the quality tests that matter. We check each fabric for opacity in light, confirm that the abaya hangs correctly on a model, and verify that embroidery does not pucker the fabric.
Modest fashion is one of the fastest-growing segments of women's wear, and abayas and kaftans are its core. Demand is concentrated around Ramadan and Eid, which means orders must be planned months ahead; late orders arrive after the season and sell at a discount.
Buyer's checklist for ordering abayas & kaftans for New Zealand
- Place orders 4–5 months before Ramadan
- Approve fabric drape and opacity
- Decide embellishment level and cost
- Set the length range for your market
- Confirm matching hijab or shawl
- Agree packing: hanger or folded
- Check the import and labelling rules for New Zealand: garments need country-of-origin and fibre labelling; children's wear follows safety standards; check duty with your broker.
- Agree Incoterms (FOB, CFR or CIF Auckland) and the payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
How we ship abayas & kaftans to New Zealand
Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Auckland, about 20–35 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in New Zealand; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.
