    IF you are buying from CHINA this is my advice: Contact the Chinese embassy and tell them you want to go to some clothing factories to buy clothes - They will send you a visa :D Which is SAFER than getting scammed online etc. Another thing is you can negotiate hard with them - a few tips - if they offer you food do not eat it all - they will keep feeding you and think you are testing there generosity etc.

    But personally i have read that thailand is actually cheaper at present - but you would need to check that yourself.

    Most manufacturers in China, Cambodia, etc, produce large quantities to order from companies which design & specify the clothing. You'll have to find makers of the lines you want to carry.

    With a quick google-search, I pulled up a wholesale directory:

    I have NOT checked them out or verified they are legit, or anything. Simply an illustration of how to start with a google-search/internet research to start locating potential sources. Of course, you must do your due diligence - & be careful & cautious about who you do biz with.
