Motorcycle Clothing

[saz1965]

Hi, I want to start up a motorcycle clothing online store particularly concentracting on female motorcycle clothing. I am having trouble locating wholesalers/suppliers of this clothing.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have been on general wholesale directories but they dont seem to have the big names in clothing.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks :D

A quick search of my friend Google UK, and I found these for you :
http://www.motorcycle.co.uk/lists/Trade.html
http://www.esources.co.uk/wholesale-suppliers/65/

Here are some specific wholesalers or trade suppliers :
http://www.clintonenterprises.com
http://www.enzoindustries.co.uk
http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk
http://www.jtsbikerclothing.com/html/home.shtml

When you contact any of the above, make sure you make it clear you want a "trade account"

You could also resell, through affiliate schemes :

When designing your website don't restrict yourself to motorcycle clothing, consider everything to do with motorcycles
Affiliate schemes are now dropping insurance, due to the tighter FSA requirements, but it is good to have these high profile company adverts on your website
(Perhaps I should do a review on websites and affiliate schemes!)

Finally, if you are looking for a fully functional ecommerce website, contact me when you are ready
Visit the website and I will provide you with a quote and a nice wee discount (provided you contact me in advance!)

What is your experience in this field?
This is a pretty specialist market, so sales might be low to begin with

I would have to agree. This sounds like a challenge and you will need to spend alot of time advertising

That sounds like a plan ;)

I'm thinking clothing, accessories, helmets, bike accessories... anything that a female biker could ever want or need!

It is indeed a niche market, so you'll have to make your product file reach as far as possible.
