I have always loved funky clothing and I have long wanted to turn into a career. Unfortunately, I was not sure exactly how to do this. I didn't want to go to fashion design colleges or get into fashion merchandising. Both of these seemed like dull occupations to me. I love to make clothing by hand, but I didn't want to design runs for fashion companies. On the other hand, I didn't want to open my own retail shop selling conventional fashions. It is impossible to make a living when you are competing with stores like The Gap and American Eagle. Then I thought about the possibilities offered by buying fashion wholesale.
I Actually made the discovery by chance. You see, I was working for a drama company at that point, buying fashion jewelry wholesale for a play. I have always loved costume jewelry, and I was fascinated by the variety available if you're willing to order fashion in bulk. Then I got curious and started looking at fashion clothing wholesale.
Apparently, there are all kinds of fashion wholesale that you can get at far below the market prices. I knew that the clothing stores bought from fashion wholesalers, of course, but I had always thought that you had to buy in big lots. Apparently, this is not the case. You can get fashion wholesale prices on relatively small orders. You can't buy one or two items of clothing, but if you are willing to buy 10 or 20, you can get a great deal!
That is when I decided to start a fashion wholesale outlet. I would buy fashion wholesale from cheap distributors, with a focus on strange and unusual clothing. Then I would sell it at far below the market prices to people who wanted to buy it. I would not make a lot of money per item of clothing, but I would cut down on my costs by running the store myself. Rather than having a neatly organized, uncluttered store, I would have rack upon rack hidden treasures. People would want to explore my store to find the best fashion wholesale deals that they could, and it would be much easier to run than a well-organized one. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought, but it was much easier than it could have been. It turns out that there was a market for the type of fashion wholesale store that I was looking to start. It took me a few years to get it going well, but once it was, I was making money hand over fist..
