Whether you run a boutique, sell on Instagram or buy gifts for a big family function, buying ethnic wear in bulk saves money and time. Here is a simple guide to buying sarees and kurtis in bulk the smart way.
1. Start with what sells
Look at what your customers ask for most. Cotton and linen sarees sell all year for office and daily wear. Zari, silk and designer sarees peak during Diwali, weddings and Karva Chauth. Cotton silk kurta sets with dupatta are steady sellers because they suit both office and festive wear.
2. Choose a catalogue with variety
A good catalogue gives you different colours of a proven design, so you can offer choice without the risk of an untested style. At Lime Thread, every design in a catalogue is shown in the product photos, so you know exactly what you will receive.
3. Compare the real per-piece price
Divide the catalogue price by the number of pieces, then add shipping. For example, our cotton silk kurta catalogue of 9 is ₹12,195, which is ₹1,355 per set, compared with ₹1,690 when bought singly. Shipping in India is ₹90 per piece, so ₹810 for nine.
4. Check sizes before you order
Kurti catalogues come in one size for all pieces, so plan your sizes before ordering. Sarees are free size, which makes them the easiest bulk buy for new boutiques.
5. Plan for festive timelines
Some designer catalogues are made to order. Pre-booked pieces are delivered within 15 days of payment, so order two to three weeks before the festival you are stocking for.
