Salwar suits remain the backbone product of Canadian ethnic retail — the Vaisakhi and wedding seasons move volumes that surprise first-time buyers, and shops that plan two seasons ahead capture the best allocation.
We manufacture and export salwar suits from Surat to Canada, working with Brampton and Toronto ethnic retailers, bridal boutiques, e-commerce sellers and multicultural mall stores. Kurtis, silk sarees, Pakistani suits, bridal lehengas and warm-weight suits sell year-round with peaks before Diwali and the summer wedding season.
What our Canada buyers order
- Punjabi and designer suits for the Vaisakhi rush
- Printed daily-wear suits for year-round boutique volume
- Embroidered formal suits with dupattas for wedding guests
- Churidar and palazzo bottom options in mixed lots
Why Canada buyers stay with us
- Mixed-lot ordering — sizes, colours and designs combined to reach viable MOQs without over-buying any single style
- Festival calendar planning — production slots reserved ahead of Diwali, Vaisakhi, Eid and the May–September wedding season
- Private-label ready — your tags, your packaging inserts, your barcodes
- Photography-friendly finishing — pieces arrive pressed and shelf-ready, cutting your content-creation time
- Canada concentrates its ethnic retail around the GTA and Brampton, with a strong Vancouver second market — buyers there plan around a shorter festival calendar and expect winter-appropriate fabric weights.
Shipping to Canada
Sea freight runs 5–7 weeks via Montreal or Vancouver; air freight for festival reorders. We handle cold-weather packing standards and full documentation.
Start with an enquiry
Tell us your product mix, quantity range and target season — our export desk responds with availability, indicative pricing and a realistic dispatch date. We would rather quote honestly and win the reorder than over-promise and lose your trust.
MOQs, samples and how a first order runs
First orders on this programme typically run 20–50 pieces per design mixed across sizes and colours for garments, or 500–1,000 metres per shade for fabric — sized so a Canada buyer tests the market without warehousing a season. Samples of shortlisted pieces ship on a courier account, with sample costs adjusted against the first bulk order. Video walk-throughs of current stock run on appointment, which is how most of our long-distance buyers shortlist before any cutting travels.
Repeat programmes are where the pricing and the allocation improve: reserved production slots, shade standards held on file, and dispatch calendars planned against Canada retail windows rather than mill convenience.
Why buyers consolidate with one Surat desk
- One supplier across the full range — fabrics, garments, kids and menswear under one accountable desk
- One documentation chain instead of five — invoice, packing list and certificate of origin prepared together
- Mixed consignments so a full season programme ships in one container, cutting per-piece landed cost
- A reorder desk that keeps programme history, so a single message re-triggers your standard mix
- Export experience across 30+ countries applied to every Canada consignment
Salwar suit and dress material collections we manufacture and export
The suit programme is the volume backbone of ethnic retail in Canada — stitched salwar kameez sets for the try-and-buy counter, and unstitched dress materials for the tailor-driven customer who wants her outfit cut to measure. We run both sides of the category so a counter can serve both shopping behaviours from one supplier.
Stitched programmes cover straight cuts, Punjabi styles, Jaipuri prints and embroidered occasion pieces — each set engineered with matched dye lots across all three pieces and size-graded for consistent fit. Unstitched materials ship as complete three-piece lots: kameez, salwar and dupatta cut from one fabric run so the shades agree on the shelf and after the first wash.
Bulk programmes tier by occasion — daily printed sets that reorder monthly, and embroidered festive sets that spike with the wedding calendar. Both tiers ship retail-ready: pressed, poly-sleeved, size-banded, with barcode options for scanned-inventory counters.
Fabrics behind the range
Suit programmes span the practical-to-festive fabric ladder:
Fabric selection is where programme economics are actually decided — the difference between a 90 GSM and a 120 GSM base changes drape, cost structure, shipping weight and the price tier the finished product can hold. Our role is to make that selection explicit rather than accidental: spec sheets with weight, weave, width and finish on every quotation, samples that match the bulk spec exactly, and lot documentation that lets your QC team verify against the same numbers we shipped against.
The clusters behind this programme weave, dye, print, embroider and finish in the same industrial ring — which is why development moves in days and corrections move faster. That proximity is the quiet advantage behind every fabric programme we run.
The Surat advantage — a short history
Surat's textile economy runs on proximity. Within a short drive of any finishing floor in the city you can reach spinning sources, weaving sheds, dyeing and printing process houses, embroidery units, stitching units, label printers, carton makers and the freight forwarders who consolidate all of it into export containers. Other textile cities have some of these layers; Surat's advantage is having all of them, at scale, competing with each other on turnaround.
The city earned that stack one decade at a time. Handloom weaving families industrialised into powerloom cooperatives through the mid-1900s. The polyester boom of the 80s and 90s pulled in process houses and printers. The embroidery boom of the 2000s added computerised multi-head machines by the thousand. Each wave trained a workforce the next wave hired, which is why the city's average textile worker today is multi-skilled across processes that would be separate trades elsewhere.
For buyers, the practical result is developmental speed. A concept reaches a counter-sample in days, a strike-off within the week, and a production slot follows the approval rather than the calendar quarter. We build our export programmes on exactly that responsiveness, and we think the history matters because it explains the mechanics behind the promise.
About Ajmera Export — the brand behind this page
Ajmera Export is a Surat-based textile and ethnic wear export house built around a simple operating rule: quote honestly, ship clean, and treat the reorder as the real product. The company runs a consolidated sourcing and finishing operation across the city's weaving, dyeing, printing and stitching clusters, which means a buyer deals with one desk — ours — instead of chasing five vendors through a supply chain they cannot see.
The range we manufacture and consolidate covers the full ethnic wardrobe — sarees, kurtis, lehengas, gowns, salwar and Pakistani suit programmes, menswear, kids ethnic — alongside home textile lines in towels and bedsheets, and the fabric yardage trade the city itself is famous for. Every programme is export-graded: shrinkage-tested, colourfastness-checked and packed to destination-market shelf standards.
What we ask of new buyers is the same thing we give them: straight answers. If a lead time is tight, we say so. If a construction will not hold the embroidery weight you want, we propose the one that will. Export relationships that start on candour tend to still be running five years later — and that is the only growth strategy this company has ever needed.
Why businesses choose us
- One accountable desk across weaving, dyeing, printing, embroidery, stitching and packing — no multi-vendor blame chains
- Strike-off approvals before every bulk run, so the shade you sign is the shade that ships
- Lot-level shade and GSM discipline with archived specs on file for every buyer programme
- MOQ structures designed for growing buyers — scale up without renegotiating the relationship
- Private labelling, retail-ready packing and destination-market documentation handled in-house
Start your first order
Begin with a straightforward enquiry: category, target quantity band and your market. From there we map the programme — which constructions or styles to sample, what MOQ the first order runs at, and what the production calendar looks like against your launch or season date. Counter-samples move within days, and nothing enters bulk production until you have approved the physical sample in hand.
Use the enquiry form on this page or message the desk on WhatsApp — both reach the people who actually run the programme. Buyers consolidating multiple categories can plan one shipment calendar across all of them, which is where the freight economics of a single-supplier relationship really start to show.
