Quick answer: Wholesale abayas are abayas bought in bulk at trade prices to resell. Buyers should look at styles (open, closed, embroidered, floral, kaftan, kimono and occasion abayas), fabrics (crepe, chiffon, nida, jersey), sizing (XS to 5XL), MOQ, shipping and supplier reliability. Turkey and Istanbul are leading sourcing hubs.
Abayas are the heart of the modest fashion market, and buying them wholesale is how boutiques and online stores stock up profitably. Here is what to know before you order.
What is a wholesale abaya?
A wholesale abaya is a long, loose over-garment bought in bulk from a wholesaler or manufacturer at trade prices, then resold at retail in a shop or online store. Buying wholesale, rather than one at a time, is what makes the margins work.
What styles of abaya can I buy wholesale?
- Open (open-front) abayas worn over an inner dress
- Closed abayas as a single, complete garment
- Plain black abayas, the timeless everyday staple
- Embroidered and floral abayas for a decorative look
- Kaftan and kimono-style abayas with relaxed, flowing cuts
- Occasion and couture abayas, often beaded or embellished for weddings and events
- Two-piece abaya sets with a matching inner dress or slip
Which fabrics are best for abayas?
Common abaya fabrics are crepe and nida (nidha) for a smooth, structured drape, jersey for soft everyday comfort, and chiffon for light, flowing occasion pieces. The right fabric depends on your climate and price point.
What sizes do wholesale abayas come in?
Most suppliers offer abayas from XS to 5XL, or EU 36 to 56, often in size-assorted packs so you receive a balanced spread of sizes per style. A clear size guide with measurements in centimetres and inches reduces returns.
What is the MOQ for wholesale abayas?
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) varies by supplier. A low MOQ is ideal when you are starting out, because it lets you test several styles without over-committing your cash, then reorder the best sellers.
How do I choose a reliable wholesale abaya supplier?
- Consistent quality, confirmed with a small sample order
- Low minimums so you can start small
- Private-label options if you want your own brand
- Ready-to-use product photography for your store
- Fast, trackable worldwide shipping and clear customs guidance
- Responsive support before and after you buy
How are wholesale abayas shipped, and who pays customs?
Most suppliers ship worldwide through tracked couriers. Import duties and taxes are set by the destination country and are usually the buyer's responsibility, so check with your local customs office before ordering.
