School uniform samples in Kenya

See it before you buy it. MoveBrands provides school uniform samples in Kenya — garments, fabrics and crests you can inspect and approve before a full order is cut, so there are no surprises when 300 uniforms arrive.

Why approve a uniform sample first

A uniform order is a big commitment for a school or a parents' committee. Colours look different on a screen than on cloth, a crest can sit too high or too low, and a fabric that looks fine in a photo can feel thin in the hand. A sample removes the guesswork. You check the shade, the stitching, the fit and the crest placement, then approve or adjust before production starts.

How to see school uniform samples

  1. Visit the shop, a branch or an agent. Look at sample garments and fabrics in person at our Kasarani, Nairobi shop or at any branch or agent in your town.
  2. Get a school sample immediately. Bring or send a garment, or photos with the colour code, and we make a sample and provide it straight away so you can approve the fabric and the finish.
  3. Approve online. We send photos of the sample on WhatsApp; approve or request changes without travelling.

See it in person. Our shop is at Shop A3, Opposite Shell Petrol Station, Next to Lake Oil Station, Kasarani, Nairobi — open Mon–Sat, 8:00am–6:00pm. Get directions or WhatsApp us.

From approved sample to full order

Once you approve the sample, we keep it on file as the reference for the whole production run and for every future re-order, so the uniform your school receives next year matches the one approved today. See the school uniform price list for how an order is priced, or cheap branded school uniforms in Kenya for ways to lower the cost.

Frequently asked questions

Q

Can I see school uniform samples in Kenya before ordering?

Yes. Samples are at our Kasarani, Nairobi shop and at every branch and agent. We also make a sample for your school and provide it immediately, so you can approve the fabric and the neatness of the garment making before the full order.

Q

Do you make a sample of our school's uniform?

Yes. Send your existing uniform or a specification, and we make a sample with your colours and crest for approval before cutting the full order.

Q

Is there a charge for a school uniform sample?

It depends on the item and the branding involved. We tell you before we make it, and for confirmed bulk orders the sample is part of the process.

Q

Can you match a sample uniform we already have?

Yes. Send the garment or clear photos with the colour code and we match fabric, colour and crest as closely as the materials allow.

Q

Can I order school uniform samples online?

Yes. Send your details on WhatsApp and we arrange the sample, photos and approval online, then deliver the finished sample or the full order.

How schools and PTAs use a sample to avoid costly mistakes

Most problems with bulk uniform orders can be spotted on a single garment: a shade that is slightly off, a crest placed too low, a hem too short. A bursar or head of a parents' committee who has approved a sample in writing has a clear reference if something differs later.

  1. Hold the sample against the old uniform in daylight, not under shop lights.
  2. Check the stitching on seams, collars and the crest.
  3. Try the sample on a child of the right age, if possible.
  4. Wash it once to check colour and shrinkage.
  5. Approve in writing, by WhatsApp or email, so both sides have the same reference.

Samples for far-away schools

If your school is far from Nairobi, you do not need to travel. Send a photo and a garment by courier to our workshop in Kasarani, Nairobi, and we send back photos of the finished sample. We deliver bulk orders from Nairobi to Mombasa, Machakos, Kiambu, Thika, Embu, Meru, Nyeri, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Kakamega and other towns. See the school uniform price list, primary school uniforms and secondary school uniforms.

Samples for corporate and group orders

The same approach works for other branded wear. See school uniforms for the full range, or visit our shop in Kasarani, Nairobi to see how a sample and a finished crest compare.

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.
