Clothing wholesalers play a crucial role in the fashion industry by acting as intermediaries between clothing manufacturers and retailers. These wholesalers purchase clothing in bulk from manufacturers at discounted prices and then sell them in smaller quantities to retailers, who, in turn, sell the clothes to consumers. This business model allows for a streamlined distribution process and helps manufacturers focus on production while wholesalers handle distribution and sales.

Importance of Fashion Wholesalers to the US Clothing Industry:

Economies of Scale: Wholesalers buy clothing in large quantities, allowing manufacturers to benefit from economies of scale in production. This helps in cost reduction, which is often passed down the supply chain.

Market Access: Wholesalers provide a crucial link between manufacturers and retailers, ensuring that clothing products reach a wider market. This increases the visibility and accessibility of fashion items to consumers.

Risk Mitigation: Wholesalers help mitigate the risk for both manufacturers and retailers. Manufacturers are assured of bulk sales, and retailers have a steady supply of a variety of clothing without having to deal with large volumes from multiple manufacturers.

Inventory Management: Wholesalers help in managing inventory by buying surplus or unsold stock from manufacturers, thus aiding in clearing out excess inventory and reducing storage costs for manufacturers.

Market Trends and Insights: Fashion wholesalers often have a good understanding of market trends and consumer preferences. They can provide valuable insights to manufacturers and retailers regarding which clothing items are in demand, helping them make informed business decisions.

Our Clothing Wholesaler Directory, is separated into several key categories.  In addition to our primary categories such as women's clothing wholesalers, men's clothing wholesalers, children's clothing wholesalers, we have also created sub categories for specific items such as corporate apparel, fabric wholesaler, textile machinery wholesaler, store fixture, yarn etc.

The intention of our database is to provide information about companies that wholesale product that is relevant to the clothing and fashion accessories industry.  After you visit a specific category of interest by clicking on the appropriate link, you will find companies listed alphabetically for your convenience.  Unlike a typical search engine, the companies in our guide are listed only once in each specific category.  For example, if you are searching for men's wholesale t-shirts you will not have to read about the same company more then once.  However, if that company also wholesales women's wholesale denim jeans, you may find them on the Women's Jeans section as well.

Are you looking for CLOSEOUT Clothing and Apparel?

This directory is for retailers of clothing to locate distributors and fashion wholesalers.  This section is not for consumers wishing to find wholesale fashion at discount prices.  Again, this directory is intended for clothing stores such as fashion boutiques and department stores.  This guide is to assist such stores with finding apparel wholesalers for purchasing product for their stores. 

Are you a wholesaler of fashion?  If yes, you can add your company to our directory.

Please note that you may find companies claiming that their clothing is the finest quality in the world and that they are the cheapest distributor.  Make sure to carefully research all companies.  Apparel Search has NOT directly done business with the companies listed in our directory.  Please be certain to conduct your own independent research prior to doing business.
