India is the natural source for women's ethnic and fusion wear. Jaipur, Surat, Delhi, Kolkata and Ludhiana combine block printing, embroidery, rayon and cotton weaving with fast, flexible sewing units, so designs can move from sketch to container in weeks. We supply kurtis, leggings, tops, dresses, abayas and kaftans to boutiques, diaspora stores, wholesalers and fashion brands.

Importers and wholesalers in Addis Ababa supply retailers and the Merkato; hotels and institutions buy uniforms; fashion brands buy cotton and specialist lines.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make women's & ethnic wear in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Dire Dawa 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.

Fabrics: Cotton, rayon, viscose, muslin, georgette, crepe, linen blends, cotton-lycra.

Size range: XS–5XL; plus-size blocks and free-size styles; UK, EU and US sizing on request.

Decoration: Block and screen print, digital print, embroidery, schiffli, mirror work, sequins and lace.
