How It Works

Choose. Review. Confirm.

Sample Kit is intentionally low-friction. You select relevant styles and tell us about your business. We review the request before confirming sample availability, any charges, shipping and the next step.

1

Choose your styles

Select the base styles closest to the range you want to evaluate. You can choose across multiple collections.

2

We review the request

We check the selected products, your sourcing interest and current sample availability before confirming the commercial details.

3

Evaluate and move forward

Use the samples to narrow your assortment, then continue into Wholesale, Private Label or a structured project brief.

Choose Your Styles

Start with the products closest to your customer.

You do not need to request every style. Select the directions that are most relevant to your assortment. Product availability for sampling is confirmed after review.

1. Buyer details

Who should we contact about the sample request?

2. What are you considering?

Choose the sourcing direction closest to your current need.

3. Commercial context

Estimates are enough at this stage.
