Planning your jeans order for Richards Bay

A jeans order for Richards Bay should be planned backwards from the selling season. Seasons are reversed from Europe, with winter from June to August; winter lines are ordered by December and summer lines by June. School uniforms peak in January. For jeans specifically, denim sells all year, with the strongest buying for autumn and winter in Europe and North America (orders placed March–June) and for back-to-school in Africa and the Gulf (orders placed April–July). Our lead time is 45–60 days from approved sample and fabric; 25–35 days on repeat styles, plus sea transit of about 18–28 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of jeans in Richards Bay include wholesalers filling retail chains, fashion brands buying private-label denim, open-market traders in Africa and the Gulf and online sellers building denim collections. In Richards Bay, they usually order 1,200–3,000 pieces per style with a ratio of sizes and up to three washes; smaller trial orders are possible on stock designs 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 Richards Bay

South Africa has its seasons reversed from Europe and North America, so jeans must be ordered against the southern calendar: lighter fabrics such as 100% cotton denim, 10–12 oz, rigid for the December–February summer, heavier options for June–August.

Sizes: Waist 28–44 inches in even sizes, inseam 30, 32 and 34 inches; EU and US size charts available; kids 2–14 years and women's 26–36 inches. Colours: Indigo, mid-blue, light-blue, black, grey, ecru and seasonal colours; wash cards are sent for approval before bulk.
