Has anyone made a clothing brand?

[Hentai]

Looking for anyone that has made a clothing brand or has any knwoledge on this market.

I want to know the hardships, the tips and tricks stuff like that.
But most importantly where you get your supplier from.

Its hard to find somewhere that sells good quality blanks and prints your design.

Opening up a clothing brand takes a lot of time, effort, money, and risk. There are an endless amount of clothing in the world, and if you were to start one, you will just be breaking even in about a year. I know many people who have created a clothing line; was it successful? No. Most aren't if you aren't patient and don't have a large amount of money to invest. Quite honestly I don't recommend going into the clothing line business, but here is some information with the questions what you were asking, and what exactly you are getting yourself into:

Regarding design: I recommend checking out dribble (https://dribbble.com/). Dribble is a site of very talented designers, which most of them do graphical design for a living. If you will want a professional design, you are looking at around $15-$30 per design, unless you have a contract with the designer (you may be able to spark a bulk deal).

Design printing/supplier: I recommend doing some research on this topic yourself. No one can really tell you the best design printer/supplier, without knowing your budget, how high quality you want the clothes, what type of clothing you want, what country you live in, etc.

For a website design, you would probably be looking around $125 - $350. (I know this is a large spacing but it all depends on how high quality and your budget you have).

For advertisement, you would need a very large budget. To get the best for your money, I would utilize both Facebook and Instagram. With Facebook, it's pretty straight forward. You target a certain audience, and advertise. For Instagram, you would pay people for practically a shoutout posting a picture of one of your clothing pieces, and a short description on it.

Clothing lines have huge potential, but if you don't have a huge budget, they end up making you go negative. Personally, if you don't have a good $1,500 - $3,000, I wouldn't recommend starting one. Here's why: you will not get a lot of sales at first, but you will need to keep updating your designs. With designs, you are basically throwing away money, every month, updating, until you get to the point where it's profitable to update. (This could go on for a year). Advertising is also very pricy. If you are thinking of starting one, you don't want bad advertisment, that will make you go negative. You would want to spend a good $800 - $1,000 on advertisment.

I hope this helped some, Hentai. I just threw this together real quick from my phone. Excuse my grammatical errors if there are any, typed it on my phone, as said.

Good luck with it, if you do start one, OP. They are very profitable in the long run if you have a lot of money to put into it.

If you have any extra questions feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
Jackson

Haven't owned a clothing brand, but have had shopify stores that sold clothes. You can be quite successful re-selling shirts and such!
