Question Just starting off !

Hi everyone , just new to this site so i hope i am putting this in the right subject area LOL . I am a market trader up in the North East of the UK . I work the Chester le street at Durham market and the one at Catterick on a Sunday ! I have noticed a Gentleman selling G Star men and Womens jeans at a reasonable price of between £15 and £20 depending on the style . I was just wondering where the nearest wholesaler was to me up in the Sunderland or Newcastle area's if possible . If not could someone point me in the right direction like CHEETHAM HILL bury new rd etc. I have found a Chinese wholsaler - annywholesale.com but dont know wether to trust them or not . I bookmarked 15 pairs of jeans and with the Postage using EMS the total price came to £301.30 . Obviously that works out at £20 a shot so no profit to be made for me . Can someone please advise me where i can get designer clothes at a reasonable price so they will probably be copies of course, to help me make a profit at it ?? At the moment i sell NAME BRAND ladies fashion clothes which are destined for Next River island Evans Principles BHS Dorothy Perkins etc etc . This is working for me but i wish to expand my outlet somewhat ! Thanks in advance mentorman

Try searching the online yellow pages for local wholesalers www.yell.com

Stay Away from China for name brand goods.

Gstar jeans for £15-£20, there possibly either fakes or copies. very hard to imagine orignal gstar at that price.
There are however a few reputable sellers on this forum for designer clothing.
check out Northern monkey, 100%authentic, keekeedee, jamestyrer, ect

Good Luck!
Dale

Generally speaking, no real branded clothing at market, if has, maybe defected, however, there are lots of demestic designer clothing with good quality and style at ths market, so do not so dispointed for it.
