What Buyers Actually Order When They Source Abayas

An abaya is not one product. The word covers a family of garments that share a modest silhouette but differ completely in construction, fabric weight and price point — and the buyers who order them are just as varied. A boutique in London ordering 60 embroidered pieces for Ramadan is running a different business from a wholesaler in Riyadh restocking 2,000 plain nida abayas every quarter. Both are abaya buyers. Both need a factory that understands which one they are.

That is why we organise production by style family rather than by a single catalogue number. It lets you mix a high-margin embroidered line with a volume everyday line in the same order, share the same size grading, and ship everything consolidated. In the Gulf and across the wider Muslim market this garment is also ordered as abaya, aba, jalabiya or chador depending on the country — the construction is the same, only the market language changes. We manufacture for brands across the Middle East, the UK, Southeast Asia, North America and Australia, and we ship DDP door to door. Commercial support in English and Arabic.

The closed abaya is also the style most likely to turn up under someone else's label — it's the one buyers on modest-fashion forums call out most often as "the same base sold to five brands." Every abaya we develop for you is written into the sales agreement as yours alone for 12 months, so the everyday nida abaya you sell as your signature piece isn't sitting on a rival's shelf next season.

Open Abaya (Kimono / Cardigan Style)

The fastest-selling shape in most Western and Southeast Asian markets. Front-open, worn over an inner dress or co-ord, so the abaya works as a layering piece rather than a full cover. Because the front is open, buyers can push the price point with fabric and trim instead of volume — a Japanese crepe open abaya with contrast trim retails at £70–120 in the UK while costing a fraction of that FOB.

Construction: no closure at the front, or a single hidden snap at the chest. Sleeves can be straight, bell, flared or cuffed, and the standard length is 54–60 inches, graded to your market. With nothing closing the front, the edge is carrying the whole look — a clean folded-and-topstitched edge reads as premium, a bound edge with contrast piping reads as deliberately designed. We do either, and we will recommend one for your price point.

Typical fabric: Korean crepe, Japanese crepe, chiffon, moss crepe, satin.

Closed Abaya (Full Overhead Style)

The volume product across the Gulf. Slips over the head with a clean, uninterrupted front panel — no placket, no seam line down the middle, which is exactly why fabric quality matters more here than anywhere else. A visible seam or a fabric that catches light unevenly is immediately obvious on a closed abaya.

The entry is overhead into a faced neckline, usually with a concealed zip at the back neck. Sleeves are straight or very slightly tapered. The front is one panel and we cut it from one ply rather than stitching two pieces together — join them and you get a shade line where the two panels came off different parts of the roll. Once that seam is in, the line is in the garment for good.

Typical fabric: nida, polyester crepe, wool blend, moss crepe.

Embroidered & Embellished Abaya

The highest-margin category in the range. Machine or hand embroidery on cuffs, hem, front panel or collar, with optional crystal, bead or lace application for premium and Eid collections. Retail price points run $80–200+ in the Gulf and higher in Western boutiques.

The embroidery goes on before the garment is assembled, stitched onto a stabilised panel that has to be cut oversize and trimmed back afterwards. Skip that and the stitching pulls and puckers the moment the abaya is washed — it is the shortcut factories take to save fabric, and it always shows. Crystal and stone work is applied after assembly, heat-set or hand-sewn depending on the stone. Hand embroidery capacity is limited, so book it early for Ramadan and Eid.

Typical fabric: nida, satin, Japanese crepe, chiffon.

Everyday Casual Abaya

This is the SKU that keeps a wholesaler’s shelves stocked between seasons, and it lives or dies on consistency. Lightweight, relaxed fit, breathable fabric, nothing added for show. The second reorder has to match the first exactly — same shade, same measurements. That is why your approved sample and your shade band stay on file here.

Construction notes: minimal detail, straight sleeves, simple neckline facing, no lining. We hold your approved sample and your fabric shade band on file so reorders are matched against a physical reference rather than a description. From $11.58/piece FOB at volume.

Typical fabric: nida, polyester crepe, zoom, lightweight linen blend.

Luxury Abaya

Built for boutiques and premium online retailers. Premium fabrics — Japanese crepe, Italian chiffon, silk-blend satin — with private label and boutique gift packaging included. The margin here comes from the details: a hand-finished hem, a hand-set lining, tonal embroidery, and packaging the customer photographs before she wears it.

Construction notes: fully lined where the fabric requires it, French seams on lightweight fabrics, hand-finished hems on silk and chiffon. Crystal application hand-set rather than glued. Gift box, tissue and branded ribbon available as a finished pack.

Typical fabric: Japanese crepe, silk-blend satin, Italian chiffon, premium nida.

Butterfly & Cape-Style Abaya

A cut that flares from the shoulder or waist to create movement and volume. Popular in the Gulf and increasingly in Western markets, where it photographs extremely well. The cut is more fabric-hungry than a straight abaya — expect 15–25% more consumption per piece.

Construction notes: the flare is created by panel insertion rather than by gathering, so the panels must be cut on the correct grain or the hem will hang unevenly. This is a pattern-making job, not a cutting job — send us a reference and we will develop the block from it.

Typical fabric: chiffon, satin, Japanese crepe.

Fabric Guide — What Each Abaya Fabric Actually Does

Get the fabric wrong and nothing else on the abaya saves it. Fabric carries 60–70% of the perceived value, and most of the cost. The table below covers what we hold and produce regularly. If your market needs something outside it, we source against your specification.

Fabric	Weight	Handle	Best for	Price tier
Nida	160–200 g/m²	Matte, fluid, wrinkle-resistant	Closed abaya, everyday, volume orders	Entry–Mid
Polyester Crepe	150–190 g/m²	Slight texture, good drape, holds colour	Casual and mid-market abayas	Entry
Korean Crepe	170–210 g/m²	Denser, softer, better recovery than standard crepe	Open abaya, boutique lines	Mid
Japanese Crepe	180–220 g/m²	Excellent drape and hand, low creasing	Premium and luxury abayas	Premium
Chiffon	60–90 g/m²	Sheer, light, needs lining or layering	Layered and butterfly styles	Mid
Satin	90–130 g/m²	Lustrous, fluid, shows every seam	Evening and Eid collections	Mid–Premium
Moss Crepe	180–230 g/m²	Textured, substantial, opaque	Structured and cape styles	Mid
Zoom / Zoomah	110–150 g/m²	Crisp, slightly stiff, holds shape	Formal and structured abayas	Entry–Mid
Linen Blend	180–220 g/m²	Breathable, natural texture, creases	Summer and resort collections	Mid
Wool Blend	240–320 g/m²	Warm, structured, heavier drape	Winter collections, UK and Europe	Premium

Opaque or not? A weight number will not tell you, and getting it wrong is the fastest way to lose a reorder. Nida at 150 g/m² blocks light completely in a dark colour. The same weight in chiffon does not, whatever colour it is dyed. We test the actual garment in daylight before bulk cutting and tell you what we find before production starts, not after. If your market needs guaranteed coverage, write opaque on the tech pack and we will propose fabrics that meet it.

What You Can Customise on an Abaya

Sleeves
Straight, tapered, bell, flared, cuffed, lace-trimmed, or split. Sleeve length graded to your market — Western buyers usually want a longer, closer sleeve than Gulf buyers.

Length & Silhouette
54–62 inches as standard, graded to your size curve. Straight, A-line, cape or butterfly flare. We work from your block or develop one from a reference garment.

Closure
Open front, single hidden snap, concealed zip, button placket, or tie-front. Snap placement is set from your sample so it never gaps.

Neckline & Collar
Round, V, band collar, mandarin, or faced scoop. A faced neckline is the default on closed abayas for a clean finish against the skin.

Embellishment
Machine embroidery, hand embroidery, crystal and stone setting, beadwork, lace appliqué, contrast piping, and tassel or fringe trim.

Lining
Unlined, partial, or fully lined. Lightweight chiffon and silk-blend fabrics are usually fully lined for coverage; heavier nida is normally unlined.

Colour
Solid dye to Pantone, or stock shades from the fabric mill. Lab dip in 5–7 days. Pastel and grey require more matching rounds than dark shades — allow for it in your calendar.

Branding
Woven neck label, care and composition label, hangtag, printed polybag, tissue wrap and gift box — all under your brand, none carrying ours.

OEM vs ODM vs Private Label for Abaya Ranges

Sourcing conversations treat OEM, ODM and private label as one thing. They are three different routes, with different minimums, lead times and levels of design control — and the mix-up is how a buyer ends up with a catalogue style wearing their label. OEM abaya orders start from your tech pack; private label abaya orders can ship in days from an existing style.

	OEM — Your Design	ODM — Customise Ours	Private Label
Who designs it	You	We hold the base, you modify	Either — label only
What you supply	Tech pack, measurements, fabric spec	Reference or selection	Logo artwork
Minimum	50 pcs per style	50 pcs per style	50 pcs per style
Development time	2–4 weeks (pattern + proto)	7–10 days (modify existing)	None — label artwork only
Who owns the design	You, exclusively	You own your version; base stays ours	Base is shared; label is yours
Best when	You have a clear point of difference worth protecting	You want speed to market at low risk	You are testing demand before investing in design

Where private label stops working: it gets an abaya line live fastest and cheapest, and it is the easiest position to lose. A plain open abaya in nida lists on Amazon UK for £28 — and four other sellers stock the same base. The brands that keep customers past the first season do it with a second-collection design, not a different label. So most of our brand clients start on ODM and move to OEM by their third order, the point where the product stops being interchangeable.

Size Chart — Abaya Grading

Gulf markets size an abaya by its length. Western markets size it like a dress. We grade to whichever curve you sell into, and if you sell into both we can hold two curves — Gulf and UK/US — on one production run.

Gulf size	Length (in)	Bust (cm)	Sleeve (cm)	UK/US equivalent
52	54	96	56	UK 8 / US 4
54	55	100	57	UK 10 / US 6
56	56	104	58	UK 12 / US 8
58	57	108	59	UK 14 / US 10
60	58	114	60	UK 16 / US 12
62	59	120	61	UK 18 / US 14

Tolerance ±1 cm on all measurements. Custom grading to your own size curve is included at no extra cost — send us your spec sheet and we will build the pattern set from it.

Abaya Pricing: MOQ and Lead Times by Tier

Indicative FOB pricing, China. Final pricing is confirmed from your specification — fabric, weight, construction and embellishment move the number more than volume does.

Style	50–199 pcs	200–499 pcs	500–999 pcs	1000+ pcs
Everyday casual (nida)	$16.50	$14.20	$12.40	$11.58
Closed abaya (crepe)	$18.90	$16.40	$14.60	$13.20
Open / kimono abaya	$19.50	$17.10	$15.30	$13.90
Hand-embroidered	$46.00	$41.00	$37.00	$33.50
Crystal / stone embellished	$58.00	$52.00	$46.50	$42.00

The price includes fabric, cutting, sewing, finishing, your woven label, care label and hangtag, the individual polybag and the export carton. It does not include freight, import duty, or any local testing your market requires. Ask for DDP terms and you get a single landed number with duty already inside it — nothing left to settle at customs.

Lead times — sample in 7–10 days after your specification is confirmed. Bulk production 25–40 days from sample approval, depending on style complexity and embellishment. Hand embroidery and hand-set crystal need longer and should be booked 6–8 weeks ahead of Ramadan and Eid. Reorders on an archived specification run 10–15 days.

Abaya Collection

Reference styles available for OEM & ODM production. Fabric, colour, embellishment and label are all customisable — from 50 pieces.

How an Abaya Order Runs, Step by Step

Enquiry
Send your specification, reference garment or tech pack. Tell us your market, target retail price and delivery date. We come back with fabric options and an indicative price, usually within one business day.

Sample
We produce a proto in 7–10 days. For OEM work we develop the pattern first — expect 2–4 weeks before a sample ships. Before we confirm bulk cutting, we test the assembled abaya in daylight for opacity, hem levelness on a mannequin, and front-edge alignment. The sample fee is credited against your production order once confirmed.

Confirmation
Quantities, sizes, colours and price are fixed in a written agreement. 30% deposit starts production, 70% before shipment. No price changes mid-order.

Production & QC
25–40 days. Inline checks through cutting and sewing, a documented 3-point inspection at 30% completion, and a final AQL 2.5 inspection before packing. Every check is photographed.

Shipping
DDP door to door with duty included, or FOB if you work with your own forwarder. Full export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin.

Reorder
Both your pattern and the shade band you approved stay on file with us. A repeat order on the same specification runs 10–15 days, and it is matched against that physical sample — not against someone’s memory of it.

Abaya QC — What We Check Before It Ships

Three things go wrong on an abaya far more often than bad stitching: opacity, shade consistency and hem levelness. We check each one at a different point in production, and all three are expensive once the goods have shipped.

We check opacity on the assembled garment, in daylight, before we cut the balance. A swatch can pass and the full-length panel still fail — light behaves differently across a garment than across a square of cloth.

Shade is the complaint that comes back loudest. It is why we cut one order from one dye lot wherever the fabric allows, and why you approve a physical shade band before we start. When a single lot is not possible, we cut and pack lot by lot instead of mixing panels across lots. Mixing lots is what produces the email that says the abaya looks two different colours indoors.

Hems are checked on a mannequin, never on the table. A hem can measure perfectly level lying flat and still hang crooked once it is on a body, because grain deviates through the flare. A tape measure on a cutting table will not show you that.

Final inspection is AQL 2.5, with the defect thresholds agreed in writing before we start cutting. If a lot falls outside that threshold, the remedy is yours to pick — rework at our cost, or a credit. That is in the sales agreement, not just on this page. Nobody is asked to pay the balance on a failed lot, and the inspection photographs reach you before the balance falls due — you pay on what you can see. If your market or your buyer wants a third-party inspection, we book the nominated agency into the production calendar before the run starts. Inspections on our floor have been run by SGS, Bureau Veritas and Intertek.

Who Orders Abayas From Us

Modest fashion brands

50–200

pieces per style

Typically 50–200 pieces per style, 2–4 styles per drop. What matters to them: a design nobody else is selling, fabric worth the price, and a finish that survives a close-up phone photo. Most start on ODM and move to OEM by their second collection.

Wholesalers & distributors

300–2,000

pieces per style

300–2,000 pieces per style, ordered again and again. What they need is a unit cost that does not move, reorders that come back identical, and delivery dates that hold.

Online retailers & boutiques

100–500

pieces

100–500 pieces, often with gift packaging and private label. Product that photographs well enough to sell, packaging that can go on a shelf as it arrives, and a minimum low enough to test a new style.

Eid & seasonal collections

Fixed date

one large single run

Large single-run orders, all on one fixed date. Everything hangs on hitting that date and on booking embellishment capacity while it is still free — confirm 8–10 weeks before Eid.

Shipping Abayas — DDP, Duties and Payment

Shipping. DDP door to door is our default: duty is calculated and included in the quotation from the start, so you get one landed number and no customs invoice to reconcile later. If you would rather clear your own goods, we coordinate FOB and CIF with your forwarder instead. Air freight takes 7–12 days door to door; sea freight 25–40 days, depending on where you are.

Duties. Abayas sit under the HS code for women’s woven garments. The rate moves with destination and with what the fabric is made of, so we put the classification and the applicable rate on your quotation in writing, before you commit to a price.

Payment. A 30% deposit starts production and the remaining 70% is due before shipment. The balance is not due until your goods are finished and photographed. Bank transfer is our standard route; PayPal and card are accepted for sample fees. Paperwork is made out in whatever name you nominate, and we are glad to work through your own sourcing agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your minimum order quantity for abayas?

50 pieces per style, per colour. Sizes mix freely inside that — 50 pieces means 50 finished garments, not 50 of every size. Colour is where people get caught out: a colour is its own dye lot, so it carries its own 50.

Can you produce from my own design and tech pack?

Yes — that is OEM production and it is what most of our brand clients order. Send the tech pack, measurements and fabric specification, and we develop the pattern and cut a proto. The design remains exclusively yours for 12 months from your first order — written into the sales agreement: we do not produce it, or any development of it, for another buyer in your country during that period, list it in a catalogue, or resell it.

I don't have a tech pack. Can you still help?

Yes — most buyers do not have one. Send a garment you already own, or photographs with the measurements you want, and our pattern department builds the specification with you. The faster route is to start from our 60+ existing styles and change the fabric, colour, length, sleeve and trim to suit your market.

How do I know the abaya will not be see-through?

The failure that matters here is invisible on a swatch, which is why this question belongs before bulk cutting rather than after it. Fabric, colour and garment length all feed into opacity, so a weight number on its own tells you nothing. We put the assembled garment in daylight and confirm coverage in writing before production. If your market needs guaranteed opacity, say so on the specification and we will propose fabrics that hold it.

What is the difference between nida and crepe?

The practical difference is what happens after the garment has been worn and folded. Nida is matte, fluid and wrinkle-resistant, which is why it is the default for closed abayas and volume orders — it drapes cleanly and travels well. Crepe carries a slight surface texture and comes in grades: standard polyester crepe at the entry price point, Korean crepe for better recovery, Japanese crepe at the premium end with the best hand and drape. Unsure which suits your price point? We will send swatches.

Can you do hand embroidery and crystal work?

Yes, both, and both are slower for the same reason: neither can be rushed. Hand embroidery is stitched onto a stabilised panel before assembly — that step is what stops it puckering after the first wash. Crystal and stone work is hand-set or heat-set depending on the stone. Either way you are off standard production time, and Ramadan and Eid capacity goes early — book 8–10 weeks ahead.

Do you put my label on the abaya?

Yes. Woven neck label, care and composition label, hangtag, printed polybag, gift box — all under your brand, and nothing on the finished garment points back to us. We check and approve the label artwork before production starts, so there is no surprise in the first carton.

What are your sample and production lead times?

Sample in 7–10 days once your specification is confirmed. For OEM development from scratch, allow 2–4 weeks to develop the pattern before a sample ships. Bulk production runs 25–40 days from sample approval, depending on complexity. Reorders on an archived specification run 10–15 days.

Do you ship DDP and who pays the duty?

We quote DDP door to door with import duty calculated and included from the start, so the price you agree is the price you pay. The import VAT position depends on your destination and is confirmed on your quotation. If you prefer to clear goods yourself, we also work FOB and CIF.

Can I order mixed styles in one shipment?

Yes, and most brands do. One order across several styles shares the size grading and ships as a single consignment, which is where your freight cost per unit comes down. The minimums sit on each style and colour, not on the order.

Do you offer exclusivity?

OEM designs are exclusive from the moment you order — automatic, in the sales agreement, 12 months from your first order. During that period we do not produce your design, or anything developed from it, for another buyer in your country. ODM styles are different: exclusivity is agreed by category or territory, and volume decides what we can agree to. Raise it at quotation stage, not after your first order.

What payment terms do you offer?

30% to start production, 70% before shipment. Nothing else is owed until your goods are finished, inspected and photographed. Bank transfer for the order; PayPal or card if you are paying a sample fee.

Do you offer abayas in natural fibres like silk or linen, or only polyester?

Our volume-tier abayas run on nida and polyester crepe because they hold shape, resist wrinkling and keep the per-piece cost down on a garment that uses several metres of fabric — but we are not polyester-only. The Everyday Abaya tier includes a lightweight linen blend, and the Luxury Abaya tier runs on silk-blend satin alongside Japanese crepe and Italian chiffon. Tell us your price point and we will tell you which fabric tier fits it, rather than starting from a fibre preference and working back to a cost that does not work.

Can you provide production photos or video of our abaya order?

Yes. We can photograph and film your run — cutting, sewing, pressing and final inspection — for your website and social channels. Modest shoppers increasingly ask brands who made their abaya, and your own footage is the most convincing answer.
