Planning your leggings order for Richards Bay
The calendar in South Africa sets the delivery window for leggings. 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 leggings specifically, leggings sell all year; fleece-lined styles peak for autumn-winter orders placed May–August. Our lead time is 25–35 days; 20 days on repeat colours, 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 leggings in Richards Bay include women's apparel wholesalers, retail chains and supermarkets, ethnic and fusion-wear boutiques and private-label fashion brands. In Richards Bay, they usually order 1,500–3,000 pieces per container colour mix; 500 pieces per colour for stock jersey 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

Sizes: Free size (fits S–L), XL–3XL, and numeric sizing 26–40 inches; plus-size 4XL–6XL on request. Colours: 50+ solid colours, melange and prints; dyed to Pantone in bulk.
