i need advice on how to start a boutique.precisely,advice on where to buy the clothes and shoes from.Like maybe somewhere in lagos or in togo or ghana or cotonou or maybe outside africa or something.am not looking to start big time,am just looking to give it a try with about 100,000 naira for the clothes and shoes only because i am not planning on starting with a shop.I would sell from home and if everything turns out very well i could move in to a shop.
The fact that i said give it a try doesnt mean i have money to waste,its just something i have always wanted to do and i am ready to give up 150,000 to test run it.
I would appreciate if you dont spend much time advicing me on the factors to consider,what i am interested in right now is the source,where exactly,not ideas,the exact place i can get it,if possible,contact information.(wholesale source,the place where all them boutiques in lagos and ibadan and other places get their goods from)
i would honestly appreciate the kind of replies i asked for
thank you nairalanders.

why clothes and shoes? You have money to waste... Lots of people are into the biz.. Test run it in nigeria,.. You need more money in other African countries except you want to go to Liberia or cote d'ivoire...

Why don't you look into mobile phone assesories... Phone battery, screen protector... You can bring it into d west African countries...

If you have big money... Bring in electric cables used for housing.. I heard they buy them in the east... You can bring to ghana... You can actually hammer if someone wants to wire his new house.. Just one house...
