Thank you for your inquiry.

I am sorry as I really don't understand the question. I am not all that familiar as to what type of clothing is sold or bought at flea markets. The clothing that we stock is normally sold to boutiques, ecommerce retailers and brick and mortar retailers.

As far as what is the retail of the clothing..that too, depends upon which medium that you use to market your inventory..a boutique would and normally does mark the inventory up by 150% or greater, while businesses dealing in greater volumes and discount retailers might opt to have a 65-75% markup. A good rule of thumb is at least 100% and also making sure to compensate for the shipping charges that were incurred for the transport of goods to your location.

I would suggest that you do some research on the apparel industry. There are many resources at your library and online which can help you become aquainted with this particular market.

I hope that this has been helpful information and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write.

My wife and I are interested in starting an toddler clothing boutique. We would appreciate any guidance/recommendations to any materials so we can research the proposition.

PS - you have one of the best sites that I have encountered on my searches.

Thank you for your post.

No, we do not carry school uniforms. There is a company called French Toast that specializes in that aspect of the market.They have a website at www.frenchtoast.com. They will be able to lead you in the right direction with regards to setting up a school uniform program in your store.

If you have specific questions regarding our apparel, please phone me at 308-632-2282 during normal business hours. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thanks much,

Trudy
