Starting an online store for vintage clothing is a great idea, and finding the right suppliers is key to success. Look for wholesalers with a good reputation, such as Glass Onion Vintage, The Vintage Wholesale Company, and LA Vintage. When buying in bulk, always check for signs of wear, fabric quality, and authenticity. Make sure to ask for detailed photos or even sample pieces before committing to a large order. Pricing varies depending on era, brand, and condition, but generally, bulk vintage clothing can range from $5 to $50 per piece, depending on quality. To calculate profitability, factor in your purchasing costs, shipping, restoration (if needed), and selling platform fees. Are you planning to focus on a specific vintage era or style? That can help in narrowing down the right suppliers for your business.
