In short
You choose from 130 blanks in stock in the Netherlands, and within 1 to 2 working days they are with you. You request the price for your whole selection, and you don't need a KvK number (Dutch Chamber of Commerce registration).
What is the minimum order at a clothing wholesaler?
Many wholesalers work in boxes of dozens of pieces per style. Here the unit is a pack of 8 pieces of one article, and an order is at least 250 euro excluding VAT. Packs of different articles count together towards that.
A pack of 8 usually contains 1 S, 3 M, 2 L, 1 XL and 1 XXL, sometimes 2 S, 2 M, 2 L, 1 XL and 1 XXL; we confirm the split with your request, before you approve.
We don't sell single pieces, except as a sample piece: if you want one piece in your hands first, that is possible, with a price per article on request. Otherwise, a test order is simply one pack of the article you want to try.
Can you combine different articles in one order?
Yes. The floor of one pack applies per article, the minimum of 250 euro per order. So one pack of T-shirts, one pack of trousers and one pack of shirts is one order with one delivery.
There is plenty to choose from: 29 trousers, 39 jackets and bodywarmers, 19 knitted sweaters, cardigans and polos, 9 shirts, 13 T-shirts, 8 two piece sets and 6 jeans, plus five groups with their own page.
Your price per piece depends on the whole order, not on the quantity per article, so a mixed order like that is no more expensive than three packs of the same article. For a new webshop or a club that means: start broad and small, see what sells, and weight your second order towards what has sold.
Can you buy clothing to sell on Vinted or Marktplaats?
Yes. A starter who sells through Vinted or Marktplaats first and has no KvK (Dutch Chamber of Commerce registration) yet can buy small here without being a business first. Buying without a KvK is possible at the same prices as a business; you just can't reclaim the VAT, so include it in your selling price.
How to get from purchase price to selling price, even if a size doesn't sell, is in our article on calculating margin on wholesale clothing.
Small quantities also suit a new webshop that wants to test five styles, a local shop that reorders what sold that week, a club that needs clothing for a team, and an event or drop with a short, hard deadline. Stock is then the fastest route: you buy clothing that already exists, and because there is no label in the neck, you sell it under your own name.
What if 8 pieces of one style is too many?
Sometimes one pack of 8 pieces is still too many of the same style, for example if you only need a handful of shirts for one team. Then we simply say so: we don't sell below a pack, and a supplier that sells per piece will serve you better.
What makes buying small easy here?
With many suppliers, a small order comes at a high price in thresholds: accounts and boxes per style. This is how it works here.

T-shirts, trousers and shirts together make one order with one delivery, not three separate orders.

Production, not stock

Questions about buying small quantities
How do I know what a small order costs?
There is no price next to the articles: you choose your articles and the number of packs, and request the price for your whole selection in one go. Within 1 working day you get the price per piece for each article, excluding VAT, with the size split and the shipping costs. An order is at least 250 euro excluding VAT; packs of different articles count together towards that.
What if a pack doesn't sell?
Then it stays your stock: there are no returns on wholesale sales. That is exactly why starting small is the safest way to test. We do exchange a wrong or damaged article.
Can I have my own style made in small quantities?
That is the other route: your own production starts at 10 pieces per style on our base model, with your print and labels; your own fabric, colour or fit goes with larger quantities. For your planning, add up at least 5 to 6 weeks for the sample and at least 5 to 6 weeks for production, each time after payment, depending on style, run size and country. If your style is in stock, a pack is faster and cheaper.
