you + our buying office = the perfect sales-driving match.
sourcing bipoc brands has never been easier.
We cannot be more excited to be a partner and resource as you source your next best seller, that just so happens to also be a BIPOC brand. There are so many brands around the world perfect for your customers, and that will fit seamlessly into your assortment.
We're here to connect you with your next best sellers.
this buying office was created for you.
The reality is that because the industry isn't diverse, sourcing BIPOC brands isn't as easy as visiting places you'd typically source from (and don't worry, we're working to change that).
Diversifying the industry isn't something that will happen overnight, and there's many layers to it, as I'm sure you've seen. There is a lack of presence of BIPOC brands inside retailers of all sizes, because there is a lack of presence of them at trade shows where buyers typically buy. There's a lack of presence at trade shows partly because of the lack of resources to be there, as minority Entrepreneurs are severely underfunded. It is also partly because of the absence of knowledge regarding wholesale as another revenue stream.
Your store is going to change the face + future of retail.
And we'll be following you every step of the way.
The fact that you're here means that diversity and inclusion is a part of your (and your business's) value system, and it's people like you who will make retail an equitable industry for all.
