Rajasthani Suits Wholesale Guide 2026: Kota Doria, Gota Patti and Block-Print Suits for Boutiques and Resellers
Rajasthani suits are one of the most reliable ranges a boutique, saree shop or reseller can stock: they sell across India, they suit every season from summer to the wedding season, and they come unstitched, so you can tailor them to each customer. This guide explains every major Rajasthani suit style, what each costs at wholesale, how much fabric is in a set, what sells in which season, and how to stock your first lot.
Rajasthani suit styles explained
| Style | How it is made | Where it comes from | Best for | In our range? |

| Kota Doria | Light fabric woven with small square checks called khat, then left plain or printed, embroidered or hand-painted | Kota and Kaithoon, Rajasthan | Summer, office and daily wear | Yes |
| Gota patti | Narrow metallic ribbon (gota) cut into leaves, flowers and borders and stitched on as appliqué | Gota is mainly made in Jaipur and Ajmer; the work is done across Rajasthan | Festive, Teej, Karwa Chauth, weddings | Yes |
| Hand block print (Sanganeri, Bagru) | Designs stamped by hand with carved wooden blocks; Bagru is known for natural dyes and dabu mud-resist | Sanganer and Bagru, near Jaipur | Daily and summer wear | Block-printed Kota Doria |
| Bandhej (bandhani) | Tiny dots created by tying and dyeing the fabric | Jaipur, Jodhpur and other Rajasthan centres | Festive, Teej, weddings | Not at present |

Kota Doria is the most versatile base because the same light fabric carries prints, embroidery, hand-painting and gota patti. Learn how Kota Doria is woven on a pit loom and how to tell handloom from power-loom copies.
What comes in a Rajasthani suit set
| Piece | Typical length in our Kota Doria sets | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Top (kurta fabric) | About 2.5 m | Print or work placement, neckline panel |
| Bottom | About 2.45 m | Fabric type and colour match |
| Dupatta | About 2.45 m | Border work, gota or tassels, transparency |
Lengths vary by design and maker. Always check the product page before you promise a stitched length to a customer.
Selling unstitched has two advantages: boutiques can stitch to each customer's size and style, and unstitched dress material carries a flat 5% GST whatever the price. Ready-stitched garments above ₹2,500 attract 18%.

Quality checks before you buy Rajasthani suits wholesale
- Kota Doria weave: the khat checks should be clear and even. Very uniform, heavy fabric may be a power-loom copy rather than handloom.
- Gota work: pieces should be stitched flat and close, with no loose ends. Ask whether the gota is traditional metal-based or modern metallised polyester, which is lighter, cheaper and more common today.
- Embroidery: check the back for loose threads and puckering.
- Block prints: slight misalignment is normal in hand block printing; smudged or bleeding colour is not.
- Colour fastness: rub a damp white cloth on a hidden area of a sample.
- Dupatta: confirm length, finishing of edges and how sheer it is.
- Lengths: confirm top, bottom and dupatta lengths match what your customers need.
The safest way to check all of this is to order 1–5 samples before a bulk order. Our guide to how sample ordering works explains the process.
How to stock your first lot of Rajasthani suits
Buy wide and shallow: more designs, fewer pieces each. Our MOQ is 10 pieces per maker, and you can mix designs from the same maker, so a first range is usually one or two lots of 10.

What is gota patti work?
Gota patti is a Rajasthani appliqué technique in which narrow metallic ribbon, called gota, is cut into shapes such as leaves, flowers and borders and stitched onto the fabric. Gota is mainly produced in Jaipur and Ajmer, and the work is popular for festive and wedding wear.
Which Rajasthani suit sells best in summer?
Light Kota Doria suits, especially printed, block-printed and hand-painted styles, sell best in summer because the open khat weave is airy and comfortable in heat.
How do I check the quality of gota patti suits?
Check that the gota is stitched flat and close with no loose ends, that the metallic finish is even, and whether the gota is traditional metal-based or modern metallised polyester, which is lighter and more common today. Also check the base fabric, dupatta size and colour fastness.
Do you sell bandhej and leheriya suits?
Not at present. Our Rajasthani range focuses on Kota Doria suits in plain, printed, block-printed, embroidered and hand-painted styles, and gota patti suits.
Are Rajasthani suits sold stitched or unstitched?
Wholesale Rajasthani suits are usually sold unstitched as dress material, which lets boutiques stitch to each customer's size. Unstitched dress material carries 5% GST regardless of price.
