You should NOT be able to buy directly from the factory. The factories work per scheduled production lot orders and the units produced go directly to the entity that placed the order. The factories in China DO NOT manufacture speculative ("if you make it, it will sell") amounts....unless they are planning to bypass the brand owners -- in which case I will be concerned about what you would be buying... There have been cases of factories selling "leftover goods" from the original orders, Business Week Asia had some articles about that back in 2005-06 time frame, I think it was about a case of Converse sneakers....At any rate, those cases highlight brand infringements. You can go to the wholesale markets -- like the one near the Zoo in Beijing, but the stuff that you would buy there is by no means guaranteed to be real.

Bangkok....but you are kinda late coz I've already seen plenty of African businessmen in Bangkok buying loads of clothes already. Perhaps you could try China....certain provinces of China offer good tailoring skills.

Sri Lanka. All M&S clothes are made there and you can go to this huge warehouse and buy dresses, trousers etc for couple of quid. They will be about fifty quid in M&S!
