Ordering Silk Scarves to Australia — Timing

Ordering silk scarves to Australia — timing and rhythm

Australia is a good market to plan for, because its buying rhythm is predictable once you know it. The southern summer peaks through December and January, so an Australian boutique or resort store places a silk scarf order roughly eight to ten weeks earlier — late September into October. Buyers who order in the northern spring miss the Australian window entirely.

Freight to Australia

Air freight into Sydney or Melbourne lands in about a week, which suits a late top-up or a restock on a print that sold out. Sea freight takes two to three weeks and is the cheaper route for a larger silk scarf order placed on time. We quote FOB or DDP, so an Australian buyer can compare the two.

How an Australian order is built

MOQ is low — 20 pcs per colour on stock silk scarves, 100 pcs per design for a custom printed silk scarf — so a boutique tester or a resort range is easy to assemble. Mix a 90×90 cm silk twill square, a light silk scarf and a silk twilly in one shipment toward the total.
