Planning your kidswear order for eMalahleni

A kidswear order for eMalahleni 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 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 18–28 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kidswear in eMalahleni include children's boutiques, wholesalers supplying markets and chains, online baby and kids stores and schools and charities buying bulk clothing. In eMalahleni, 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.
