Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Papua New Guinea
Timing decides whether abayas & kaftans sell at full price or at a discount in Papua New Guinea. Tropical all year with a heavy wet season from December to March; workwear and school orders peak before the January term and mining shutdowns. 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 Papua New Guinea 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 Port Moresby, Lae and Madang, 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 Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea 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.
Abayas & Kaftans made in bulk to your colour, size and design for Papua New Guinea
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 Papua New Guinea 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.
