Portuguese Manufacturers - Spanish Suppliers - Italian Stockists - French Wholesalers

Opening a fashion clothing store is one of the preferred options for many entrepreneurs. If you want to open a business or are looking for new suppliers, you will have plenty to choose from.

Making the right choice will make your business grow and save you a lot of headaches. Take a deep breath and be very calm to find the best supplier of goods for your store.

Tips to take into account before choosing the best wholesale clothing supplier for your store

  • Never choose just 1 clothing supplier, at least 2 or 3 wholesalers, so you always have options, such as a variety of clothes and different styles in your store.
  • Price is important but so is the quality of the clothing. Ask the manufacturer or stockist if you can make a small wholesale purchase for your store to make a more detailed assessment.
  • Chinese Manufacturers or European Stockists? It doesn't matter, it depends on what you're looking for, always make a small purchase to evaluate the product.
  • Give priority to wholesalers located in Europe, as your order arrives faster and prices nowadays are cheaper than Chinese wholesalers, in addition to the quality of the clothes being higher.

Manufacturers - Warehouses - Wholesalers - Clothing Suppliers

When we open a new store we tend to go to a wholesale warehouse and buy lots of clothes to get the best price, sometimes we also contact manufacturers as we believe we will get the best deal.

90% of the time, it's one of the biggest mistakes.

YES, A BIG MISTAKE.

You must now be confused.....

Buying clothes in quantities is a business for clothing retailers or wholesalers and only they have the ability to negotiate good prices with manufacturers.

Remember that your store is not a warehouse, and your customers want variety, not quantity.

NEVER FORGET

Show your customers that your clothes are unique, original and different from the competition.

Directories - List of companies focused on the area of clothing resale and wholesalers - Located in Europe

We have selected some European platforms and directories where you can find a variety of clothing suppliers to sell in your store or boutique and also on the internet.

Main question of this topic:

"where to buy clothes to sell?"

Consult the following links:

Remember that wholesalers and clothing manufacturers don't advertise much and many are not listed in directories, so we also recommend doing intensive research on search engines such as google, bing, yahoo.

Don't limit yourself to the first page of search results, many good wholesalers or clothing manufacturers are found on the second and third pages, as they do little advertising.

You have to be patient and as we said before, make a small purchase for the first time to evaluate the merchandise and always choose 2 or 3 clothing suppliers, keep your store diverse in clothing styles and sizes.

For example: you can find an excellent stockist dedicated to selling formal dresses, another wholesaler dedicated to selling casual dresses and another retailer dedicated to selling plus size dresses.

Chinese clothing wholesalers - Buy directly from Manufacturers in China

China is known as the largest factory in the world, so you may have the temptation or dream of looking for a Chinese clothing manufacturer

Consult the following links:

Be very careful, buying directly from wholesalers in China is very risky. If you want to sell Chinese clothes, we advise you to find a wholesaler who sells Chinese clothes located in Europe, as in case of any problem you will have somewhere to make a complaint.

Don't get me wrong, you can buy directly from Chinese suppliers, but keep in mind:

  • Import has many associated costs, (transport and taxes).
  • It takes 30 to 180 days to deliver clothes.
  • You have to buy clothes in quantities to be profitable (€5000 to €15,000).

In short:

Is it worth buying clothes from Chinese manufacturers?

Remember that you are a clothing store, you are not, nor should you be, a clothing stockist.

To negotiate clothes in quantities requires a lot of experience, which is why there are dedicated clothing wholesalers and stockists.

The answer is no, whether Chinese or European manufacturers, don't buy clothes in quantity, the profit will be on the shelf in your store.
