Why Hawalli needs women's & ethnic wear
Hawalli and neighbouring Salmiya are Kuwait's busiest retail and wholesale districts, where Indian and Arab traders buy mixed containers of basics, kidswear and ethnic wear.

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.
