How wholesale clothing companies find clothes

Buying wholesale has its benefits!

Clothing wholesalers make their money by finding bulk items from various sources all over the world, and reselling their wares to boutiques and retailers. In addition to brand new designer wholesale clothing, large lots of clothing can be found through opportunities with manufacturers that allow for some great deals. They also find their clothing from direct importers, liquidating companies and overseas directly from clothing makers. If a manufacturer can’t sell everything it has produced, its products languish on shelves, unsold, until it has to be practically given away. Wholesalers will buy large lots of clothing and sell them all over the world to clothing stores that deal directly with regular customers, in retail outlets, malls and discount shopping centers.

Everything from wholesale women’s dresses, women’s wholesale blouses, plus-sized clothing, and specialty items are continually being sought by clothing wholesale companies, to be purchased in large lots and parceled out to clothing retailers for sale to the regular buying public. Merchandise that might not otherwise be available in a normal store is found by wholesalers through maintaining relationships with the largest manufacturers in the world; they then distribute smaller lots to anyone wishing to mark the products up to retail prices, often at substantially less than one would pay in a department store setting. Department stores usually buy their products directly from a manufacturer, right off the runway and sewing machine. Substantial savings can be found by working with a wholesale clothing company that has access to the same clothing going to high-end department stores.

What makes wholesalers different too, is their usually high buying ability. They have a capacity to purchase huge lots of clothing, often with years of relationships behind dealing with clothing manufacturers and closeout distributors. The savings are then passed on to retail and boutique operations, which don’t have to buy quite as large amounts of bulk items for resale in their shops. Wholesalers maintain streamlined staff, who scour the world looking for bargains on current and trendy wholesale women’s clothing. They look for the best prices, shipping arrangements and variety of clothing so their chances of successfully reselling to retail operations stay high. They look for deals, yes, but also great prices, choices in sizes and colors, different styles in the same colors and items that are relevant in the fashion world. They can’t resell items that are out of season, or unattractive to the average consumer, so they are constantly monitoring fashion shows, keeping an eye on trends and seasonal deals.

Wholesalers don’t just sell off-season or over-runs items. They have access to discounts from brand name, new merchandise that might not otherwise be available to a small boutique or resale shop. The newest fashions can be had by wholesalers who have relationships with the larger designers and brand name manufacturers, at much better prices than someone who deals in smaller quantities can find.
