Who buys in Tanta and what sells with abayas & kaftans
Tanta is served through Alexandria, with 1 day by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses and retail chains & stores.
Jeans: Denim is the garment that sells in every market: jeans are bought for every season, and retailers and wholesalers reorder washes and fits as sizes sell through. Many Tanta buyers add it to the same container.
T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Tanta buyers add it to the same container.

Planning your abayas & kaftans order for Tanta
A abayas & kaftans order for Tanta should be planned backwards from the selling season. Summers are hot and winters mild, so cotton sells year-round with hoodies from November to February. Peaks follow Ramadan, Eid, back-to-school (September) and the summer wedding season. 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 14–22 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 Tanta 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 Tanta, 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 Tanta
Because the climate in Egypt 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.
Abayas & Kaftans made in bulk to your colour, size and design
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 Tanta 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.
