What is wholesale clothing?

A fashion accessory wholesaler or apparel wholesaler is also often referred to as a distributor. The wholesaler or distributor typically purchase product from manufacturers (factories) and then they sell the product to others. Normally, a fashion wholesaler will sell clothing to retailers (stores). The store will in turn sell the garments to consumers. However, some wholesalers will sell direct to consumers.

Apparel wholesalers typically do not produce the actual clothing. They are simply the middle person between the producer (factory) and the consumer (retailer or final consumer).
