Quick answer: Kaftans and kimono abayas are open, flowing layering pieces that boutiques buy wholesale to offer effortless, elegant modest outfits. Key considerations are style (embellished occasion kaftans, everyday kimono abayas, printed or plain), fabric (chiffon, crepe, satin, nida), sizing and MOQ.
Kaftans and kimono abayas are among the easiest modest pieces to sell, because they layer over almost anything and suit every body. Here is how to buy them wholesale.
What is the difference between a kaftan and a kimono abaya?
A kaftan is a long, loose robe-style dress, often used for occasions and evenings. A kimono abaya is an open-front abaya with a relaxed, kimono-style cut, worn as a layer over an inner dress or outfit. Both are flattering, forgiving and versatile.
Which styles should I stock?
- Everyday open kimono abayas in plain, neutral tones
- Printed and floral kimonos for seasonal freshness
- Embellished or beaded occasion kaftans for weddings and events
- Lightweight chiffon kaftans for summer and resort
Which fabrics work best?
Chiffon and satin suit occasion kaftans, crepe and nida suit structured everyday pieces, and light knits or jersey suit casual kimonos. Lining matters for sheer fabrics.
What sizing and MOQ apply?
Because the cut is loose, kaftans and kimonos often suit a wider size range and are forgiving on fit, but a clear size guide still helps. Look for low minimums and size-assorted packs so you can test styles.
