How do I get merchandise for my own lingerie store?
Mimi asked:
In the near future I am hoping to open my own store which will carry only my own line of lingerie(bra,panties,body washes,etc.)I know how it will all look and i can draw but do I have to sew my own merchandise and make my own body washes? How did people like the guy who opened victoria’s secret get their merchandise, i know he didn’t make his own line by hand either.

OK. What you’ll do is contract with a garment maker. Depending on how big you’re starting, you may be contracting direct with a Chinese factory, but most likely, you’ll deal with an intermediary who sends off orders then gets them off a boat from Bangalor or wherever else’s cheap. Basically, you either take a set design or custom make one, and they’ll sew on your marquee tags for you. Body washes are the same; you’ll pick a product from a distributor and have them put your label on.
Seeing I have nothing more than Macroecon 101 under my belt, you really need to hit the books before you open a business if you thought you’d have to be sewing. No, it will be fifteen year old Vietnamese or Honduran women, economic realities being what they are
When you get the answer to your question please let me know… I’m trying to start my own online lingerie store… Thanks
