Kurtis Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is the Gulf's largest apparel market, with a young population, rapid mall and e-commerce growth under Vision 2030, and Hajj and Umrah traffic that brings millions of visitors to Makkah and Madinah every year.

Buyers here are importers in Jeddah and Riyadh supply mall chains, hypermarkets and online retailers; wholesale traders in Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah buy for pilgrim and expatriate demand; contractors and government bodies buy uniforms and workwear.

Modest cuts, long sleeves and loose fits dominate; thobes and abayas sit beside T-shirts, polos, jeans and track pants for younger buyers, and school uniforms, hospital and security uniforms are bought in large tenders.

Summers are very hot, so lightweight cotton sells from April to October. Demand peaks around Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, National Day (23 September), back-to-school and the cooler winter months.

Textiles and ready-made garments are subject to SASO conformity rules and the SABER registration, with Arabic labelling of fibre content and country of origin; importers should confirm current requirements before shipment.

Duties and taxes: 15% VAT plus GCC customs duty; SASO / SABER conformity may apply. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

A kurtis order for Saudi Arabia should be planned backwards from the selling season. Summers are very hot, so lightweight cotton sells from April to October. Demand peaks around Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, National Day (23 September), back-to-school and the cooler winter months. For kurtis specifically, orders for Eid, Diwali, Navratri and wedding seasons are placed 3–4 months early; casual cotton kurtis sell year-round, with summer lines peaking from January. Our lead time is 30–45 days including sampling; 20–25 days on repeat designs, plus sea transit of about 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Saudi Arabia include ethnic-wear boutiques in the UK, US and Gulf, online fashion marketplaces, wholesalers supplying festive stock and retail chains with a South Asian customer base. Around Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, they usually order 300 pieces per design with up to 4 colours; 1,200–1,500 pieces per container order for mixed designs is common and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Because the climate in Saudi Arabia is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kurtis we recommend Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM, with cotton-linen and slub cotton as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

Sizes: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques. Colours: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make kurtis in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Saudi Arabia 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.

Design cycles are quick: a design that sells can be repeated within three weeks. We photograph every sample on a model and send size charts and fabric details so your buyers or online listings are ready before the goods arrive.

To control returns, we measure a fit sample of each block, grade it carefully, and check measurements on every carton sample against the spec sheet, with particular attention to length, bust and sleeve.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Jeddah Islamic Port, about 5–10 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Saudi Arabia; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Folded in individual polybags with design and size stickers, 40–60 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold, dry in shade, iron on reverse; embroidered pieces should be washed separately.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
