Hi Bigdreamer,

If you're still looking for suppliers (or anyone who is), contact me at info@s4f.ie ... I might be able to help

Hi,

I'm hoping to set up a kids clothes shop, but finding it difficult to find suppliers which I'm 100% happy with!
I was hoping to have a range of clothes that suit a variety of budgets!

Bigdreamer, I have big dreams of my own, curious to know how you've gotten on with all of this or whether you went ahead with it in the end as I haven't seen any further posts.

detailed answer. The misses had a boutique shop in the westbury mall but closed it due to new baby coinciding with the recission. You'll be looking at trade shows out side of ireland. Stock fillers from fashion city in ballymount. Good location is the key. Try to get in contact in stylists and the magazines. They'll be a great assist. She was often featured in image, tattler, off the rails , ireland am etc. Its all about getting free exposure.

Seeing as they made that post in 2010 I would imagine they have probably found out all they need or its probably too late.

Its best to start a new thread instead of bumping an old one. To start with its worth a trip out to Fashion City then go to as many trade shows as possible and do a lot of googling! Even if you can't make it to trade shows it is worth going on to their website and going through the list of exhibitors to look out for new designers etc.
