The US nightwear and loungewear market has grown significantly — work-from-home culture and "bedroom fashion" have pushed demand for quality sleepwear to new highs. For US brands building in this category, India is increasingly the sourcing destination of choice.
Why India for nightwear and loungewear
Fabric availability is strong — viscose rayon, cotton interlock, modal, and bamboo blends are all well-sourced. Viscose rayon in particular — India's strength — is the fabric of choice for premium nightwear in the US market.
No Section 301 tariffs — Indian nightwear enters the US at standard MFN rates (around 8.9% for cotton), no additional punitive charges like China.
Genuinely low MOQ — 200 pieces per style per colour, versus 1,000–2,000 minimums at many Chinese factories.

Private label — what's included
Standard CMT includes a woven or printed brand label (you supply the design), English-compliant care label, size label, and plain poly bag. Custom branded poly bags, hangtags, and gift boxes are available on request, quoted separately.
CBP compliance note
Everything leaving our factory for a US shipment carries correct English care labels with accurate fibre content declarations — non-negotiable, since CBP requires it.
The sampling process

Air freight from IGI Airport Delhi to JFK, LAX, ORD, or DFW takes 3–5 days — good for first orders or urgent replenishment, at $4–7 per kg. Sea freight from JNPT Mumbai takes 18–22 days to the West Coast, 24–28 days to the East Coast — far lower cost for orders above 500 pieces.

What is the MOQ for private label nightwear manufacturing in India?
Most Indian nightwear manufacturers, including The Urban Charm, work from 200 pieces per style per colour, with full private label — your brand labels, care labels, and packaging — included as standard.
What fabrics are best for nightwear sourced from India?
100% cotton (180–220 GSM) for breathability and easy care, viscose rayon (130–160 GSM) for a silky premium hand-feel, modal for moisture-wicking softness, and bamboo-cotton blends for an eco-conscious positioning. Viscose rayon is India's particular strength.

Typically 2–3 weeks from tech pack confirmation to a physical sample in your hands in the US, including fabric sourcing, pattern making, stitching, and DHL/FedEx shipping.

Air freight from Delhi to major US hubs (JFK, LAX, ORD) takes 3–5 days, ideal for first orders or replenishment. Sea freight from Mumbai takes 18–28 days depending on the destination port, with significantly lower cost for orders above 500 pieces.
