Selling designer clothings online

Can I sell designer clothing online without being an authorized reseller from the designer company? I intend to buy from liquidation companies to sell designer clothing from my online store. Pls advise if that's ok and legal to do so. Thanks

Welcome to SaleHoo TifsnMigs,

From what I have read before in this forum, you can as long as your your source is a legit distributor and the items are authentic.

Just be ready with proof in case anyone will ask for one - like the receipts or manifest.

Hope this helps. Happy Holidays :)

Hi Richelle,

Thanks for your reply. Do you have the link for previous forum that talks about this subject?
For a start, I would like to get my initial inventory from liquidators listed on the directory. From those listed, who can you recommend the most?
Aside from liquidators, where else can I source for designer clothing?

Happy holidays to you and your family too! :-)

Hi TifsnMigs,

Are any specific brands you are interested in? We do have a number of suppliers that carry various designer brands.

Here are a couple of threads that have supplier suggestions for brand name clothing -

Hi Richelle,

I am particularly looking for D&G, DKNY, Juicy C, Gucci, Prada, Bebe, Ralph L, YSL, Ed Hardy, True religion, etc. basically known brands.
Visited eFashion site and found out that they only sell to brick & mortar store (won't sell to online store?). Also, visited New York's apparel. Both sites require you to become a member, and to become one, they would require to submit documents like business registration, etc. So, can't view their catalog for now.
Currently, I'm still in a process of doing a feasibility study on the viability of opening a clothing store (perhaps start an online store first then if all goes well, will open a brick and mortar store. Hence, at this point I don't have the necessary document to submit to both sites.
Would you have an idea about their wholesale prices? Is there any way I could have that info?

Thanks as usual for your help :)

Hi TifsnMigs,

Sorry it took me quite a while to get back to you. Sorry but if we had access to their prices and told members who couldn't comply with their requirements that would be bad business ethics. Besides, in wholesale the volume of your order's the key to your actual price - the more you order the better the price gets.
