"I loved reading Some Buyers Will Some Buyers Wont.  It was informative and very easy to understand.  I loved the way it was written and straight to the point.  I do intend on using the contacts that you have send me.  Usually this information is very hidden and expensive.  If you have anything else and would like any feedback I would love to read it.  I have been learning everything on my own and it is nearly impossible to find someone like you who shares their knowledge with people like me."

Updated 18/10/2010 The Sneak preview is highlighted further down in green.


Everything you really need to know is right here, plus the premier store, full contact detail 400 buyer database included.

 


***Tip 1.  Most designer's ( men's, women's & accessory designers) do not contemplate mail order. Most focus on retailers and e-tailers yet the mail order business is enormous. The biggest and brightest mail order business is Shop Direct. Send them your company details at supplier.enquiries@shopdirect.com and get in front of them! Their orders alone dwarf all orders you will get from department stores, e-tailers and independent stores put together, however they have a very specific way of working and will require photographic samples and usually factory compliance details as do most of the large multiples.

 

 

It takes time, effort, expense & determination putting together sample collections. To get in front of fashion buyers is not as easy as it sounds, however, your intrigue has led you here and you now are at the right place at the right time!

Whether a fashion or accessory designer launching a new label, expanding an established label, studying fashion or just have a great fashion idea you want to pursue, at some point, fashion buyers will be involved & that is my area of expertise.


 

I operate in the real world, and after 26 years, I remain in the fashion industry. Because the information I provide below has already helped many thousands,with the practical information they needed, I can confidently state the following.

What you shall read below, & in my e-book guide, is what you have been looking for if you want a full understanding of the business acumen needed for success in the fashion industry. You may just want the best 400 fashion buyer details, they are in the e-guide, all 400! By applying this advice, knowledge & understanding, you simply supercharge your chances of securing orders with the very best fashion retailers and e-tailers worldwide. Without it you may well be treated like many thousands before you and face zero replies or a wall of rejection. Read some of the testimonials below, contact them directly if you wish, but know that I assist individuals, young upcoming designers & brands, fashion students & graduates with practical information often overlooked, yet vital for success in the fashion industry. It is my first hand experience which, in the real world, counts for everything.

7 Reasons why my e-book is regarded as vital & why you should download now!

  1. You need more buyers, both domestic & overseas, to view your collection. I show you how.
  2. You want a greater understanding of the business as a whole. I explain it all.
  3. You have never heard Incoterms such as DDP. I make it simple.
  4. Your finding it difficult to attract good showrooms or agents. I explain why.
  5. You want to add 400 premier buyers to your current database. I provide the details for you.
  6. You need PR but are finding it way too expensive.I show you the alternative.
  7. You understand the creative side of the business but could use help on all other matters. I go through it, in simple understandable terms, from A-Z.

Full details regarding how to get your copy of 'Some Buyers Will, Some Buyers Won't' are directly below & at the bottom of this homepage. I know you are serious about your business or your idea or you would not be here, don't think twice about this, just go for it & see the results for yourself.

 


 

If there is one vital thing i have learned from my 26 years in the fashion industry, it is that knowledge is not just empowering, it is massively money saving! With the information you are about to acquire, not only shall you be at a huge advantage when it comes to deal negotiation & numerous calculations, whether that be with fashion buyers, agents, showrooms, distributors, CMT outworkers, fabric & trimming suppliers, printers or shippers, but your newly acquired understanding will grant you power! Why? Because of your confidence in the knowledge you now possess, which resonates & assures everyone that you know what you are talking about & trust me, what a difference that can make to a deal, whether it be negotiating payment terms with buyers or cmt prices with outworkers.


Contrary to popular opinion, in the business of fashion, it is not solely about who you know, in fact it is more to do with what you know.


 

 

 


 



There is a lot of information on this, my Homepage. It is intentional so as to give you insight as to what you really need to know in order to achieve real success in the fashion business,so sit back, have a coffee and enjoy the read.

Many reader's have commented on the Chapter entitled 'Why some labels succeed where others fail'  and have said this alone is worth it's weight in gold


Its time to further your hard work so far. At boutique buyers, I provide the no frills, no fluff information you will need in order to do so.

 Are you interested or involved in the real business of fashion?

 

 Let's be brutally honest, no creative individual wants to develop their sample collection, be it clothes, accessories, bags or jewellery only to receive little to no orders and then be forced to have to clear their samples at sample sales to recoup some costs! This defeats the object completely & ultimately you lose a lot of money doing this! We want your collection to receive orders & to be stocked in the very best retailers there are. At boutique buyers we show you exactly what buyers look for in a collection, what to do (& what not to do) in able to obtain orders and then we give you over 400 UK full buyer contact details to approach,so,no more slaving over samples and creating zero orders! Let's get you into retailers!

 

These buyer contacts are invaluable & cannot be bought anywhere on the web! You cannot Google buyer names or contact details & here it is, all provided for you, plus everything you ever needed to know about getting into these stores . Don't second guess just download the free trial & go for it and make full use of this fantastic offer. It really is as good as it seems!

This is a lifestyle boutique I supplied in the UK called Chattertons. They have 5 boutiques in the UK. The dresses on the right hand rail are by my Australian designer, Alannah Hill.

Would you like to see your merchandise being sold alongside the very top designers in the fashion industry and in such beautiful boutiques?

Dear Renato

I would like to express my appreciation for the advice I have received from you.I sent out an e flyer today and I already have strong interest and order talks from two different boutiques, one in ireland and another in harrogate.

Thanks a million as this is the best start for Robe.

Best Regards

I am often asked " where do we show the collection from?" or "Can i show from home?"

 

Showrooms are expensive, even short term showrooms on a 4 - 6 week let are expensive. If you plan to show your collection in central London, showrooms are very expensive and if you don't have fixed appointments there is nothing worse than sitting around in your paid for showroom waiting for buyers to show up! It would be much more cost effective to either take part in a well attended & recognised trade exhibition, where buyers visit en masse.

 

Great to fix appointments with buyers at their stores also. Buyers don't mind this initially as it's a zero risk/outlay for them. I tell you the terminology we use, as well as tricks we employ, to get us in front of them.

The only affordable & easy to follow fashion resource available on the internet which includes full & current address & contact details for over 400 UK Department store fashion & Accessory buyers, lifestyle boutique buyers & top end e-tailers.

 

 

**Updated 11/09/2010**
 

 

 

My advice, don't invest in a showroom unless you have guaranteed fixed appointments with buyers & if you do take a showroom, double book your appointments! Buyers cancel at the last minuet, forget, get delayed or take extended lunches! You would be better off having multiple buyers in the showroom at the sametime! I have done this numerous times and it actually has the effect of creating such a buzz around the collection, buyers feel as though they are missing out if they don't place an order! Ideal for us!

 

For short term showrooms in central London, contact Kelly Myers at The Langham Estate on 020 7580 5656 or email kelly.myers@langhamestate.com  I have found Kelly to have reasonably priced showrooms in W1 but still expect them to be in the region of  £2400.00 plus VAT per month (That's about £85 per day) This is for approx 500sq ft which can accommodate about 4/5 6ft garment rails, holds about 350 hanging garments/Accessories & bags. He handles UK showrooms for designers worldwide wanting a central London UK base whilst showing their collection in London.




 Much more of this type of advice in the e-book.

When I started in this business as a know nothing 19 year with little knowledge & even less contacts, I was told, by industry experts, I would not survive in the fashion industry! They thought because I was just a 'regular' guy that I didn't have what it takes! Great proving people wrong & making them eat their words!


I did just that & proved them all wrong. From a starting point of selling t-shirts & knitwear to Topshop & Miss Selfridge for Jeffrey Rogers, I ended up traveling to all the major fashion weeks around the world & selling couture dresses, via Harrods, to Saudi princesses by Maria Grachvogel. I had to drive to 10 Downing Street to deliver dresses & suits by Sara Sturgeon to the then Prime Ministers wife! Today, in 2010, I still sell high fashion & I still travel all around the world exhibiting at Fashion weeks.

 

Along the way I have supplied some of the best department stores in the world including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Brown Thomas,  Neiman Marcus, El Corte Ingles, Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Lane Crawford, David Jones, Harrods, Liberty to name a few & hundred's of the very best fashion & lifestyle boutiques in the UK & around the world. If I can, you can, it is the knowledge & confidence that counts.

 

 

 

 

The words 'cannot' or 'impossible' do not exist because if i can, you can & this e-book shows you exactly how!

 

 

It took me quite a few years to collate everything I have learned right from the warehouse, through production rooms, sampling rooms, design rooms, cmt outworkers, factories & sales showrooms.

 

 
I have now put all of that information, along with up to date buyer name & full contact detail buyer directory, into a very easy to follow resource guide, in the form of an e-book.

 

These buyer contacts are invaluable & cannot be bought anywhere on the web! You cannot Google buyer names or contact details & here it is, all provided for you, plus everything you ever needed to know about getting into these stores. Don't even think about it! Just go for it and make full use of this fantastic, one time limited offer. It really is as good as it seems.

  

 

 

I also offer a full one to one consultation which entails going through your collection in depth and advising on every area. With this consultation comes the full buyer database but on contact manager software making it ideal to direct call, direct email, direct mailout, add or amend details plus much more. Please contact me directly at mail@boutiquebuyers.com for full details of this service.

 

 

 

I came out of the consultation learning so much more and it has given both of us the confidence we needed to go forward from here. Thats down to you, so we very much appreciate it. It was nice also to meet a real gent, there are not many these days so again was great to meet with you in person. Appreciate you still pursuing your contacts for us too.
