School uniform distributors in Nairobi

Looking for school uniform distributors in Nairobi? MoveBrands manufactures school uniforms and supplies them direct to schools, bookshops and retailers at wholesale rates — no layers of middlemen between you and the workshop.

Buy school uniforms direct from a Nairobi manufacturer

When you buy from a distributor who buys from a wholesaler who buys from a factory, every step adds margin. Buying from the manufacturer removes those steps. We cut, sew and brand school uniforms in our own workshop, so we control quality, lead time and price, and we can fix a problem directly rather than passing it down a chain.

Frequently asked questions

Q

Are you a school uniform distributor in Nairobi?

We are a school uniform manufacturer that supplies schools directly and also supplies in volume to bookshops, uniform retailers and resellers. Buying from the maker means no middleman margin.

Q

Do you have a uniform distributors price list?

Yes. Retailers and distributors can request wholesale pricing by item and quantity. Send your expected volumes and we reply with a price list.

Q

What is the minimum order for distributors?

There is no minimum on standard sizes. Wholesale rates improve with volume, which we explain in the quote.

Q

Can you supply uniforms in a school's exact colours for resale?

Where a school has authorised you as its stockist, we can produce its uniform to specification. Ask us how to set that up.

Q

Do you deliver to distributors outside Nairobi?

Yes. We deliver across Kenya, including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret.

Starting or growing a school uniform retail business in Nairobi

Selling school uniforms can be steady business, because every term brings new pupils and replacements. It is also demanding: you need the right sizes in the right colours at the right time, and a supplier who answers when stock runs low. Many small retailers in Nairobi estates and towns across Kenya begin with a few schools nearby and add more as parents recommend the shop.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based manufacturer. We make school uniforms in our workshop in Kasarani, Nairobi and supply them in wholesale quantities to bookshops, uniform retailers and resellers. See also school uniforms for the full range.

How to choose your first stock

Check whether the school supplies its own crested items. Where it does, you can still sell the plain items, and sell crested items only with the school's agreement. Do not copy a school's crest without permission.

Delivery to resellers across Kenya

You do not have to be in Nairobi. We deliver from Nairobi to resellers in Mombasa, Machakos, Kiambu, Thika, Embu, Meru, Nyeri, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Kakamega and beyond. You can also collect from the shop in Kasarani, Nairobi, and look through samples before you place a larger order.

Whole-school orders: we visit your school and take measurements

For a whole-school uniform order we do not guess sizes. Our team visits your school, in Nairobi or in towns where we have branches and agents, and takes measurements so the uniform fits every class from the start. Book a visit by WhatsApp on +254 720 149 329, or ask at our Kasarani, Nairobi shop.

  1. Book a school visit by WhatsApp or at the shop.
  2. We visit, take measurements and note the school's colours and crest.
  3. We send an itemised quote and a sample for approval.
  4. We make, brand and deliver the full order, and keep your pattern on file for re-orders.

Samples at every branch and agent, and quick samples for schools

You can see uniform samples at our Kasarani, Nairobi shop and at our branches and agents in Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Kiambu, Thika, Embu, Mwea, Meru, Nanyuki, Isiolo, Garissa, Nyeri, Nyahururu, Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret, Bungoma, Kakamega, Kisumu and Vihiga. Walk in, feel the fabric, check the stitching and see a finished crest before you order.

We also make samples for schools and provide them immediately, so the head teacher, bursar or board can approve the fabric, the colour and the neatness of the garment making before the full order is made. Once the sample is approved we keep the pattern on file for re-orders.

Branches and agents also take school-visit bookings in their own towns. Book a visit at your nearest branch or agent, or on WhatsApp +254 720 149 329, and we visit your school and take measurements.
