I think i understand what you mean, but i could be wrong. Do you mean, for example, you'd want to take something like 1,000 'New Look' dresses, remove the labels, pop your own labels in (say your company name was 'freshman'), and then sell the items as 'Freshman' branded dresses??

It may well be possible, but as i previously stated, brand names are extremely sensitive about defacing/altering their designs. By removing a brand label and replacing it with your own, you would be trying to pass a branded & probably trademarked design as your own, which is a big no-no, and you could face a team of highly paid lawyers expecting full compensation. Plus, most reputable manufacturers would refuse to alter branded products due to the legal implications, as they would also be breaking the law.

If you actually mean you'd like similar designs to branded products manufacturing, but branding as yours, that would probably be ok, as long as you don't try to identically replicate branded designs. In this case, you would want a sewing factory/dress maker/clothing manufacturer.

If something is branded you cannot do anything to it without getting into trouble.

You can buy blank garments and re-label them though, ie t-shirts but the former, forget it.

That's how it came across to me - it's not worth the legal hassle to touch anything branded!

Absolutely right, it is just asking for trouble.

It's quite common now for blank manufacturers to supply garments just with size labels or tear out labels so you can re-label with your own - obviously you'd also decorate the item at the same time, so are effectively branding it yourself - but to take someone else's work, take their label out and put yours on is a no-no!

Oem labelling i think this is called. i was in contact with a chinese company several months ago that could add my own design and labelling to a product. it was simply as Seraph stated. you bought blank/unbranded t-shirts then they printed onto the shirts.

i ordered a few but unfortunately quality was poor.
