Resort & Beachwear Manufacturer for Australian Boutiques & Brands

Australia's seasons are the reverse of ours. Summer runs roughly November to February, autumn and winter from May to August, and the resort and beachwear selling window sits squarely in the first of those. That means the buying calendar is ahead of ours: stock that has to be on your rail for an Australian summer needs to be in production in India while we are still in our own spring, and often earlier than buyers expect.

So we plan production around Australian summer rather than around our calendar, and we can start earlier for buyers who need stock landed before the season. A worked example for a summer drop landing in late October or early November: styles and fabrics agreed by April, approved samples in hand by May or June, bulk cut and sewn through July and August, cartons collected in September, and on the water through September and October. Start that conversation in the northern winter and the timing is comfortable; start it in July and the order is workable but tight, with less room for a second sampling round or a redrawn block.

Sea transit from Nhava Sheva near Mumbai to the east-coast ports — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane — is typically twenty to twenty-eight days on the water, with door-to-door delivery realistically five to seven weeks once collection in Pushkar, export clearance and your own clearance are counted. Perth and Adelaide on the west and south coast usually run a few days longer. Air freight is available for short runs, capsule drops and top-ups between seasons at three to six days door to door, and sample parcels go out the same week by courier.

If you tell us your selling window at the start, we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable and where the slack is — and if it is not, we will say so before you commit anything.

India and Australia have a trade agreement in place, and it reduces or removes Australian customs duty on a wide range of Indian-made goods, including many textiles and garments, along a phase-down schedule. It is a genuine reason to buy from India rather than elsewhere, and it is worth understanding before you quote your own retail prices.

We deliberately do not quote duty rates. The rate that applies to you depends on the HS code attached to your garment, the year of the phase-down you are importing into, the origin status of the fabric, and whether the right certificate or declaration travels with the consignment — and those are your customs broker's call, not ours. Confirm it with them before you place the order and not after: current duty on your HS code, what origin document they need to claim any preference, and how the goods must be labelled in Australia.

What we do is make the paperwork easy to claim with. Tell us your destination at the start and we prepare the file to your broker's expectations rather than a generic one:

• —

  Commercial documents

  Commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value, packing list with carton marks, weights and measures.

• —

  Transport

  Bill of lading for sea shipments, airway bill for air, insurance certificate on CIF terms.

• —

  Origin

  Certificate of Origin issued in India; if your broker needs a specific origin declaration or attestation to claim a preference under the agreement, send us the form and we complete it.

• —

  Product marking

  Fibre-composition and country-of-origin labels printed or woven in the format your market expects, on a permanent label.

• —

  On request

  Mill test reports, restricted-substance test reports, pre-shipment inspection — arranged before production begins, not after the cartons are sealed.

Minimum order

50 pieces per style, per colourway

Run size

Up to 5,000 pieces per style

Terms

FOB Mumbai or CIF your Australian port

Payment

Deposit to begin production, balance before dispatch, by bank transfer

Fifty pieces per style, per colourway, split across your size set in whatever ratio sells in your shop. Two styles at fifty each is a perfectly good first order, and it is how most of our long-standing accounts began. Above five hundred pieces per style the rate improves; collections are quoted above two thousand, and multi-style programmes are costed together — the bulk and wholesale orders page sets out how those larger runs are planned and paid for.

Most Australian buyers start from the resort wear range — kaftans, maxi dresses, cover-ups, sarongs and co-ord sets in voile, linen and rayon — and move from there into custom prints, colourways and silhouettes drafted to their brief. Customization is the default, not the exception. Plan on seven to ten weeks from first conversation to cartons at your door for a straightforward cotton style, and twelve to fourteen with custom printing, embroidery or redrawn blocks. Start from the homepage to browse the sample catalogues, or send us the styles, quantities and your delivery city and we will come back with a landed-cost estimate rather than only an ex-factory price.
