We are about to launch a new top end online clothes brand ... jackets, polos, knitwear and shirts - quality is great. Stock is in and the site is live ready for autumn & winter. I have some questions which I'm hoping this forum can assist with:

Is it better to go direct or through an affiliate management company?
Which affiliate management company has the best profile for this type of offering?
Where do we start?

many thanks in advance.
