Wholesale Clothing Blog

I am starting my own business of selling clothes wholesalers and accessories and am having a hard time finding websites for genuine brand name/designer wholesalers (plenty of people claiming to be wholesalers but theyre not) no-one in the retail business is willing to give out this information and the search engines generally produce the rip offs claiming to be wholesalers. I have come across sites willing to sell this information but i am reluctant to use these as im not sure if they are for real or not. so please if anybody can help me i would be truly grateful.
