I am a startup business with an established business name. I am currently looking for wholesalers of female clothing, jewelry and other accessories and how to attend the trade shows. I live in the midwest and know I will have to travel to trade shows. I have constantly researched on the internet for trade shows but end up in China? My business will be small and homebased along with selling at bazaars, and flea markets until I retire. Can anyone direct me?

Hello. I have posted a message title "Here's a list of wholesalers in Atlant, GA", in Biz Ideas. There you will find a list of wholesalers who have items you are looking for. If you need further assistance you can e-mail me at theresavevans@comcast.net

Hi,
You are right about needing to attend the trade shows. If you are in the Midwest the closest, largest show would be in Vegas called "Magic". Also, you may also want to check out the trademart and shows in Atlanta as well as New York. There are probably a few shows in L.A. as well, but I am not as familiar with those.

Go to the following websites for more info:

Hello, I'm a new start-up as well looking for distributors and I saw you were looking for trade shows. One of the main trade shows is Magic which is held twice a year, August and Feb, in Vegas. Also I found out about a lot trade shows by searching on google using "fashion trade shows" as search words. Hope this helps. :-)
