Branded corporate wear for every department

Corporate wear in Kenya: how to plan staff uniforms that last

Buying corporate wear in Kenya is rarely about one garment. A company might need polo shirts for the office, overalls for the workshop, reflective jackets for the yard, a blazer for management and dust coats for the stores. If each item comes from a different supplier, colours and logos drift apart. A single manufacturer that handles cutting, sewing and branding keeps the whole wardrobe consistent.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based manufacturer with a shop in Kasarani, Nairobi where procurement officers, HR managers and business owners can see fabrics and samples. We make, cut and sew, then embroider or print in-house, and we deliver countrywide.

Which uniform for which role?

Planning a company uniform order

1. Decide who gets what: list roles, number of people and whether men's and women's cuts are needed.
2. Pick one or two brand colours for garments and thread, and keep logo placement the same across items.
3. Choose a branding method per item: embroidery for long-lived garments, screen printing for high volume or short campaigns.
4. Collect sizes before ordering. Add spares for new hires.
5. Get an itemised price list, approve artwork, and confirm collection or delivery.

Our blog guide to cost factors for school and corporate wear explains what moves the price of an order, so you can compare quotes properly.

Common mistakes with bulk staff uniforms

• Choosing by sample price alone and ignoring fabric weight, which decides how long the garment lasts.
• Ordering all sizes in equal numbers instead of following the actual spread of your staff.
• Changing logo size between items so shirts, caps and jackets look unrelated.
• Leaving re-orders to a different supplier whose fabric shade does not match.
• Forgetting seasonal or temporary staff who also need to be identified.

A short call or WhatsApp chat before you finalise the list usually catches these problems early.

Ordering and delivery

Send your logo and item list by WhatsApp to +254 720 149 329 or email info@movebrands.co.ke. We reply with an itemised price list or quote within the same working day. Online prices equal shop prices, and bulk rates apply to larger orders. Standard bulk embroidery is ready 5-7 working days after artwork approval. Your logo and pattern files stay on record so re-orders match.

We deliver from Nairobi across Kenya, including Mombasa, Machakos, Kiambu, Thika, Embu, Meru, Nanyuki, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu and Kakamega. For tenders and large institutional orders, read about our bulk orders and branding services.
