Relabling ex-chain store clothing. Legal?

Hey,

I'd first like to say thanks to all the members of this forum, the information you provide on this site is invaluable.


I have a question about relabling ex-chain store / catalog clothing.

I'm in the process of creating a start-up apparel company. I have aquired plenty of t-shirts, hoodies, polo's ect, but I would like to bolster out my range to include dresses and other garments that blank companies don't supply. I'm aware that I can source these from overseas, but currently I don't want the minimum order amounts they offer. Ex-chainstore wholesale websites on the other hand can supply these types of garments in a much lower quantity, at good prices.

My question is; if I was to obtain garments that were made for companies like asos.com or next, is it legal for me to completely rebrand them under my name?

Thanks
