You do not give much detail. Wholesalers in children's garments are not many because the manufacturers themselves act as wholesalers. That being said, before famous names part with goods and make deliveries to your company, they insist on a large sum in the form of a bank guarantee, that will require that much money being blocked by the bank (perhaps around £100,000 for complete agent's rights for say UK markets). Of course it has its advantages where you have exclusive rights to all their sales and you act as their distributor for the region. That means having a showroom for th esample you'll be sent, attending exhibitions and promoting their seasonal clothes, taking orders and passing it on to them for delivery etc.

If you are an already established dealer in a famous brand of children's clothes (and usually it is more popular to deal with up to 11-12 year olds), then you are more likely to get clothes delivered by other manufacturers and also represent them - with no advance guarantees! Hence, the ideal way would be to take over an established agent/distributor who is already representing a famous name + others, who already has outlets they are successfully selling to etc. but wishes to retire from business.

Currently, I have a very good friend, a French lady, who has been living in UK for the past 25 years or more, and has been dealing in childrens clothes as such, in the exact manner I have described above. She does wish to retire from the business, and is not really interested in selling it for a profit. She would be happy for someone to take it over by replacing the guarantee she originally provided, because after 25 years, she is tired of all the travelling involved and wants to opt out before the end of the agreed term of dealership. If she does, she'll lose her money from the main company she started the business with.

That was 6-7 months ago and as far as I know she still runs the businbess. If you have the means to come up with the sort of deposit/bank guarantee required to allow her pull out, I believe she will be willing to turn over all her agency rights for this and any other manufacturer she is representing in UK, together with the reputable company name she currently has.

I know it is too good to be true, but this is no advertising gimmick! I am not involved in clothing trade at all. I should have no problems in getting you two to contact each other and exchange information on everything involved if you are willing to give me more details. If what you are after is what she might be willing to give up, I can ask her to let me pass her email address or Tel. No. to you so that you can contact her and discuss things further.

Hi
We are the UK distributors of a highly successful American childrenswear brand called Shilav. It is a multi million dollar brand in the US and sells in stores like bloomingdales and nordstroms as well as many other fine retailers. The Autumn/Winter collection was launched in the UK at Premier Kids in January. Since then we have had a fantastic response from retailers looking for quality product at great prices. We have both Spring/Summer 07 available on short order( though running out fast) and Autumn Winter for delivery in July. Feel free to email me if you are interested in selling a brand that is growing fast and is globally established. If you would like to have a look at the brand feel free to visit www.shilav.comThe collection is for boys and girls from 6 months to seven years old. As we are a new brand we have a very low minimum order limit, we are looking to grow with the right people.
