Buying Wholesale Women's Fashion



Goose Island is an exciting and unique fashion brand that sells women's clothing, accessories, and jewellery in our 3 shops in Mumbles, Swansea, and Cowbridge. However, did you also know that we are one of the only fashion wholesalers in Wales?

But do you know what wholesale means? There are often conflicting definitions of wholesale floating around, and a lot of people misunderstand what it means. Goose Island sells our clothing to other retailers across the UK and further afield where a market for our unique and eclectic style has been identified.

In our latest blog, we talk more about wholesale in general and give a little insight into how Goose Island operates as a retail business:

"Wholesale means that other retailers can buy our individual products in bulk numbers, to then sell Goose Island clothing in their own stores. These retailers can be anyone from department stores to independent shops, or wherever a demand for Goose Island clothing can be identified. From our warehouse in Swansea Enterprise Park we can dispatch large orders of our most popular women’s fashion wholesale items, and expand the Wales-based Goose Island brand."

Wholesale is a great way for other people to experience the Goose Island brand. Do you buy wholesale? Or do you know what wholesale is now?

Dresses Offer Endless Options for Women's Workwear

It's easy to fall in to a rut about what you wear everyday to work, and it's not surprising really. At typical 9 to 5 jobs, people are spending most of their time at the office, and combined with rushed mornings, it's no surprise that you just end up pulling the same thing out of your wardrobe over and over again.

However, we know that falling in to this style rut can make you feel a bit down, a bit boring, and a bit uninspired to enjoy your work. When you enjoy fashion, and enjoy putting outfits together like we do, then it's easy to keep buying more and more work clothes in the hope of adding something more interesting to your workwear, but you still end up buying the same things...

In our new blog we we talk about dresses, and the great versatility they can add to your work wardrobe, they are easy to throw on in the morning, and the entire look can be changed with a few different accessories:

"A quick and easy option for women’s work wear is dresses. Again, the variety is almost endless, and it eliminates the need to match up separates; one dress is one outfit. Not only that, but the look of a dress can be easily changed with accessories or an extra layer. For example, wearing a tailored blazer over a dress can create an exceptionally smart look, perfect for a meeting, or wearing a long pendant necklace, and flat shoes will create a slightly more relaxed look while still remaining office appropriate."

Your appearance at work isn't everything, but knowing you look great can also make you feel great throughout the day. Will you investing in any new dresses?
