With the wet winter finally drawing to a close, there is Mother’s day and Easter to look forward to, and things are brightening up on the retail front too.

A & K have a vast selection of both womens’ and mens’ wholesale socks as well as a host of baby wear and accessories to keep your customers happy long into the spring.
The perfect summer line is our lace ankle white trim socks, which are available in packs of three in a selection of sizes. Made from extra soft fabric and with an attractive ruffled trim, they are as comfortable as they are cute. The minimum order is one dozen and there are a number of shipping options depending on the size and quantity being dispatched. We also have an exciting collection of baby wear and accessories. With cute appeal, our Elli and Raff rattle toys are proving popular sellers and are an excellent addition to any product range. The scope for special offers is also huge as they are ideal to sell together in a set or alongside any one of the safari rattle toys we have available.

All-In-Ones
December 23rd, 2013
All-in-ones
There is no doubt that the rise and rise of Amazon and EBay has fuelled the rise in cheap wholesale clothing.
One of the biggest hits this year has also been the rise in sales of the ‘All-in-One’ or ‘The Onesie’. This classic item of clothing has now become a wholesaler’s dream. A&K Hosiery, who are leading specialists in sales of cheap wholesale All-in-Ones have certainly benefited from the popularity of these goods. It’s a trend that shows no sign of fading as the giant retailers, Amazon and EBay, are stockpiling them – and not just for the Christmas rush.
The All-in-One is not just a winter item, originating from Scandinavia, this loose fitting, casual, modern jumpsuit, for men, women and children is made of warm fleece and knitted cotton like a sweatshirt. They are being worn in the bedroom, the living room and as a stylish piece of street fashion all year round.
Online orders this year are expected to show a significant rise on last year’s figures as an increasing number of people turn to their smart phones, tablets and PCs and get ordering. Technology today means they can shop whilst on the move and wholesale All-in-Ones are certainly moving.
Of course, just around the corner, the festive season sales are looming on the horizon and as Deloitte have forecast an unprecedented online sales figure of £40billion, bulk orders are piling up. It seems as if buying online is the modern way to go; there is no let up in people expecting the ‘Click and Buy’ option and shunning the traditional High Street shopping.
As last weekend was predicted to be the busiest for online sales, A & K Hosiery are bracing themselves for a big rush of wholesale All-in-One orders from their buyers. A&K specialise in cheap wholesale All-In-Ones, making them perfect for buyers offering crucial price promotions to their customers. Many retailers, it seems, have invested in apps and other IT upgrades to enable shoppers to easily buy from their mobile phone.

Wholesale socks and nightwear
December 20th, 2013
Christmas may be a time of Goodwill but it is also a time of extra spending. Sometimes this can be associated with rising costs.
A & K Hosiery, based in the North of England, are well accustomed to dealing with the seasonal rush as the big buyers stock up in bulk. A & K are cheap wholesalers of socks, nightwear, all-in-ones, vests, scarves, hats, gloves and much, much more. Sales are going through the roof this year with the online demand catapulting sales of cheap wholesale gloves, scarves and thermal wear to an extraordinary length.
However customers need to beware the rising cost of postage charges, especially from Royal Mail.
Most of us enjoy buying gifts for others and taking time to choose something appropriate. As online shopping explodes and expected to be higher than ever this year, we often look for the best bargains. Buying on Amazon and eBay, where buyers stock up in bulk from cheap wholesalers of socks, nightwear and other goods is extremely popular. Yet when a large postage cost is piled on top it can make customers wary.
We often spend more than we intend on presents for our friends and family; an unexpected postage charge to send to distant relatives or friends can be daunting.
As sending Christmas presents by Royal Mail this year could cost £18 more than using another delivery service, it may be a good idea to look around.
If online retailers can keep their prices low by ordering cheap wholesale all-in-ones and other items from warehouses like A & K, it defeats the object if you have to then fork out for a large postage on top.
If you are simply sending a small gift or a stocking filler type of item such as gloves, scarves, hats or socks, then Royal Mail is often the cheapest carrier for small parcels.
“A significant majority of parcels handled by Royal Mail are in the ‘small’ parcels range,” commented a Royal Mail Spokesperson. “Royal Mail offers the lowest price in the market for small parcels weighing up to 1kg.” Yet while some prices had risen in April, others had fallen.
Royal Mail goes on to say: “The price change will ensure Royal Mail offers the lowest price in the market for shoebox size parcels of up to 1kg in weight.”
Bulk purchase from cheap wholesalers of socks, hats, gloves, vests, tights and leggings may be the way that large online retailers can drive down their prices. It pays, though, to shop around for the deal in postage charges.

Heat Holder Socks
December 19th, 2013
Heat holder socks
As Christmas rapidly approaches, online sales are booming more than ever. Smart wholesalers of socks are bursting full of stock, ready for the E-Bay and Amazon buyers snapping up in bulk at this time of year. The figure this year is predicted to hit a staggering £5 billion as buyers rush to their screens instead of braving the High street crowds and cold. This is nearly 20% up on last year’s total.
A & K Hosiery, a Leeds based, leading stockist of cheap wholesale socks are scanning the economic horizon, in full knowledge that a factor boosting the online sales market is the strengthening economic climate; pockets are less empty and consumers eager to spend. Deloitte predicts a total festive season sales figure of £40bn.
When the most popular stocking filler in shivering Great Britain is still the traditional winter sock it’s not surprising that the ultimate thermal sock – the familiar Heat Holders – are selling faster than you can say ‘Arctic blast’. In fact, Heat Holders have become one of the most famous sock brands in the UK.
Cheap wholesalers of socks such as the well renowned Heat Holders are often hard to find; we are fully prepared for the regular December rush with the warehouse bursting full of snug, warm socks that retain the heat and keep male and female toes snug.
Anyone who has lived through a British winter knows that the only way to be confident in the cold is to wear socks with high insulation. Heat Holders have been tested to achieve a thermal tog rating of 2.34. This unique 3 stage process using heavy bulk yarn, combined with advanced knitting technology and intense brushing, holds more warm air close to the skin, ensuring your feet stay warmer for longer.
Wholesale Heat Holders come in assorted colours or black in sizes 4-8 & 6-11 with a minimum purchase of 6 pairs.
“We are seeing record numbers of wholesale Heat Holder orders this year,” commented, Director of A & K. “Sales are well up on last year and it doesn’t look as if a Big Freeze is going to give the buyers cold feet.”
This is excellent news for A & K Hosiery who lead the way when it comes to buying in bulk. The traditional British stocking filler is still number one; best to buy now before Santa’s sleigh overloads.
