Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Mukono

A abayas & kaftans order for Mukono should be planned backwards from the selling season. A mild climate allows year-round sales, with peaks at the start of school terms in February, May and September, and before Christmas and Easter. 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 12–22 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 Mukono 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 Mukono, 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 Mukono

Because the climate in Uganda is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For abayas & kaftans we recommend Nida and crepe 130–180 GSM, with georgette and chiffon for overlays as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

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.
