Eminem or HBO?

Eminem or HBO? That's the question you'll have to ask yourself, unless you choose Megan Fox as a background of www.ellen-clothing-manufacturer.com v2.0 - which online relaunch is today.

The HBO stylesheet, which you can choose by simply ticking the corresponding radio button at the top of the new website, relates to the story of young New York entrepreneurs troubles to get their jeans brand (Crisp) off the ground.

 This tv serie (How to make it in America) is also a motivational masterpiece for those in the business of starting their clothing line.

.... By the way, you can also choose from more classic backgrounds if you don't like any of the above, but then again, some people are never happy...

Having a good black friday?

The busiest shopping day of the year is an closely watched event in the apparel industry because it tells professionals if they've been right in their market predictions.. or not.


Online sales of clothing have done even better than last year and same (brick and mortar) stores are on the rise.
In these uncertain economic times, it looks as if the men and women in the street have decided to treat themselves with the latest fashion gear and accessories.

We've had some feedback from readers of the blog about the October article dealing with Sept 2011 retail sales and the wholesale clothing market conditions.

Some of these readers are selling their own brand and were not sure to be right to react until Black Friday came along with wonderful sales and a renewed optimism for the clothing retail and wholesale industry.

How urgent is your (wholesale clothing) order?

That's something we've been talking about in previous posts, the earlier you order your garments, the better the price.

Order Early and Get Double Discount:
And we are not even talking about the transportation cost for your clothes from Vietnam to your market. We are talking manufacturing price. If your order is urgent, the quotation may have to be recalculated in order to include the cost of mobilizing troops.





Therefore, when you order early, you lower the manufacturing cost as well as the transportation cost (because your garments are shipped by boat instead of sending them by plane).

Why not indicate to your consultant at the clothing factory the time that you've got in your hands to get your clothes made.

What's New?
In the new contact form available here: Get a quotation to get your clothes made you can simply tick It's urgent or I've got time when requesting your quotation.

Can you trust forum reviews?

Reviews on forums may not all be trusted.

The reason for this: Forums are sometimes made up by business owners to make a bad reputation to competitors.

It is the case in many industries and there is no such thing as independant opinion even in the fashion industry.

A good example of this is the review of Ellen Clothing Manufacturer by T-shirtforums.com

T-shirtforums is associated to US clothing manufacturers and they are very keen on putting together bad comments about Asian competitors.

Can these US apparel manufacturers provide their market with high quality clothes at the same price than their Asian counterparts? No, they can't. But they still need to eat so they end up doing things ethically discutable.

Handling Asian Holiday Season

When ordering clothes, beware of the Chinese new year vacations which usually takes place in February.





The clothing factory reopening dates vary every year so make sure to call your contact in the factory to check when your order will be proceeded.

This year again, many clothing business have tried to get hold of their summer fashion line during the Asian holidays and have found it very difficult to get hold of someone and get some help.

There are many bank holidays throughout the year that you need to take in consideration to get your timing right. Call the factory to check on that too.

What to wear between seasons?

Funny time of the year when it's already sunny but still cold. What is the perfect outfit according to you?

Buy cheap clothing wholesale

One of the best ways to buy wholesale clothing, if you are hard working and want prices below wholesale price is to pay interest in liquidations of clothing companies.

Lots by the palette are sold by administrators liquidating national department stores in the US. The lots for sale are mixed clothing pallets.

According to other blogs in the wholesale clothing business, it is a growing trend in the liquidation industry in the US.

Pallets are made of overstock or customer return clothes, mixed up. You must buy the pallet but you will only pay 2 or 3 dollars per clothes.

When to order your winter clothing line?

Speak with any factory and they will prefer to take your order now rather than later.

Whereas you, would like to order at the last minute.

In the wholesale clothing and the fashion business, timing is everything. If not it is almost.




The later you order the better you feel your collection in terms of fitting in with the recent fashion evolutions on the street.

On the other side, the earlier you order and the easier it is to deal with the factory and get a good price.

Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

In line with the post dated Dec 2009 Sexy fashion models for Christmas I have been requested to come up with an article about Tila Tequila.

Guess what came up as soon as I typed Tequila in my favorite search engine:
Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

I thought that's just too good to be true. All I had to do was to get a picture of the actress wearing sexy clothes and that would be it: Job done.

That's when I realized it's not so easy to find pics of Tila Tequila wearing something! Anyway after working hard, I found a decent one. Here it is..

Is a cool brand name enough to make a clothing line a success?

Surely, achieving commercial success in fashion means commitment, hard work and patience. A cool brand name for a clothing label is necessary.. but not enough.

Nowadays a successful clothing line first is a celebrity clothing line. It's also a brand held by a company which owns a large distribution network or at least have access to a large number of retailers.

Successful brands in the news in 2010

Successful brand name we don't like: Uniqlo is a new-style Japanese firm making good casual clothes. They design, manufacture and sell their clothes in their own retail stores.

That brand name doesn't sound great until you think of it as unique clothes.

In my opinion a terrible brand name. This company is however becoming one of the big players in the fashion industry. So much that GAP is getting worried!

Gucci to continue Alexander McQueen's fashion label

The news just came out on CNN, Gucci will persevere with the McQueen clothing line. It's everywhere in the news, on the net, on TV and in the newspaper.

You call this news??

What a joke!

For anybody who's got a minimum of common sense between both ears and who understands business and clothing brand promotion it was OBVIOUS that Gucci would keep going with this famous clothing brand.

Of course the whole world mourns the sudden death of the designer, but let's keep it real: The huge publicity around the suicide of this artist just a few days before London fashion week can only serve the label's majority stakeholder Gucci Group.

Even though there is no information available about how profitable McQueen's 11 stores fashion house has been in the last few years. The French luxury brand Gucci Group is betting on the brand's success in 2010.

Strategically speaking, this is a risky decision because it will be difficult for the French clothing company to look good if they ever need to shut down the McQ operations. That would definitely make them look like they disrespect the now worldwide famous dead clothing designer.
