Wholesale directory for the clothing trade — women's knitwear.
This page lists wholesale suppliers of women's knitwear: companies that sell to the trade — retail stores and other businesses buying for resale, not to individual shoppers.

Conrad C.
Conrad C.: After forty years in the fashion industry, Conrad Cape has developed three simple yet fundamental principles: a strong work ethic, a keen understanding of the consumer, and most of all, a general love for the business. These values have been carefully nurtured in sons Jeffrey and Michael who now function as the leading members of the Conrad C team. Together, their combination of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm has earned the Montreal based ladies sportswear company its strong presence in the Canadian market. The needs of both large retailers and independents alike are met by the attention paid to customers tastes and lifestyles. The hallmarks of a Conrad C garment begin with a highly experienced design team that researches the world for major trends and fine fabrics. The result is a fresh collection of fashion co-ordinates for a complete, easy-to-update wardrobe of timeless pieces that includes jackets, pants, skirts, blouses and knitwear. The Conrad C Collection is offered in Missy (sizes 4-18), Petite (sizes 2-18), Woman and Petite Woman (sizes 14-24).

White + Warren
White + Warren: they began eight years ago with a vision to create a line of luxurious, quality knitwear at affordable price points. They set out to cultivate a loyal clientele of women, like themselves with personal style, clearly defined tastes, but limited time to find the perfect item. They plan to apply the principles of taste, quality, integrity and value to new classifications and continue to address further aspects of their core consumers' lifestyle.
Buying Women's knitwear at Wholesale
Wholesale women's knitwear covers luxury and contemporary knitwear, including Italian-made collections and cashmere-style sweaters, from specialist knitwear houses. Buyers usually start from the department they are stocking and work backwards to the specification: the right products for the customer, the right size and colour range for the order, and a quality level that stays consistent from the first delivery to the last. A small mismatch at this stage — a slightly different shade, size run or finish — can leave a store with stock it cannot sell, so experienced buyers treat women's knitwear as a range to be specified carefully, not as a commodity to be bought on price alone.
That is why the listings on this page are worth reading in full before you contact anyone. Each entry describes what the company actually sells, where it is based and how to reach it, so you can shortlist suppliers whose range genuinely fits your store. Where a listing gives product categories, check them against your own department plan. Where a company serves several audiences, confirm that it regularly supplies women's clothing retailers, because sizing systems, price architecture and quality expectations differ between markets even when the product name sounds the same.
Choosing a Women's knitwear Supplier
When you compare suppliers of women's knitwear, the deciding details are yarn quality and gauge, fibre content, and sizing consistency, because knitwear fits and feels differently from woven garments and is bought on hand-feel. Ask for samples or swatches before committing to a bulk order, and confirm the specification in writing on the order itself. Agree in advance how quality will be checked on arrival, what happens if a delivery does not match the agreed specification, and how repeat orders will be handled, so the second delivery matches the first. Also confirm minimum order quantities, lead times and how the goods are packed for shipping.
Price still matters, but it should be compared on the full cost of stocking the product: sell-through, markdown risk and the cost of a stock-out in a core size usually outweigh a small difference in unit price. Keep a record of which supplier provided each range, so any quality question later can be traced back quickly. If you sell into export markets, also check that the women's knitwear you choose meets the labelling and fibre-content rules your customer's market requires, and keep the supplier's documents with the order file.
Planning ahead also protects quality. Most stores reorder women's knitwear against a selling calendar rather than waiting until stock runs out, because a rushed substitute bought at the last minute is the most common cause of shade, size or performance differences between deliveries. Keep approved samples of the lines you carry, labelled with the supplier's name and the season, and compare every new delivery against them. If a supplier discontinues a line you depend on, that sample file is what lets another supplier match it accurately.
Common Questions
What should a buyer check before ordering women's knitwear wholesale?
Check yarn quality and gauge, fibre content, and sizing consistency, because knitwear fits and feels differently from woven garments and is bought on hand-feel. Confirm the details in writing, and test samples on your own customers' expectations — fit, fabric and finish — before placing a bulk order.
Who buys women's knitwear through a wholesale directory?
Retail stores, boutiques, uniform suppliers and other trade buyers. The listings here are business-to-business suppliers, not retail shops, and most require a resale certificate or tax ID to open an account.
Why do minimum orders and lead times vary between women's knitwear suppliers?
Each supplier works differently: brand houses stock seasonal ranges, distributors carry depth for quick delivery, and makers produce to order. Ask about minimum quantities, stock levels and lead times at first contact, so your buying calendar is built on confirmed dates.
