What We Look For in Our Vendors

We curate intentionally. Beyond product quality, we look for:

  • Strong brand alignment with our customer base
  • Clear pricing and product positioning
  • Thoughtful packaging and presentation
  • Brands that value community and collaboration
  • Products that complement our existing assortment

We prioritize brands that are a strong long-term fit, not just seasonal trends.

FAQs 👀

Yes. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but onboarding depends on available space and seasonal needs.

We offer consignment at 55/45 (55% to the vendor) and for wholesale we require 55% off MSRP. We usually like to start brands off on a consignment contract to see how the brand resonates with our customers.

Vendors are paid twice per month via e-transfer. Vendors will have access to an online reporting system that they can login at any time to see their sales and export any reporting that they need for their business.

If you believe your brand is a strong fit, we’d love to learn more.
