THE BOUTIQUE BUYING EXPERIENCE
Build a Boutique presents The Boutique Buying Experience with Shontell Patrice at Dallas Apparel & Accessories Market.
WHAT IS DALLAS APPAREL MARKET? Think of it as a wholesale fashion destination built for retailers—not a mall or consumer shopping event. Boutique owners and retail buyers walk permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits, meet brands and sales reps, preview collections and place wholesale orders across apparel, accessories, footwear and more. The October market also offers upcoming Spring collections and immediate merchandise for the holiday selling season.
Shontell will help you navigate with a plan—identifying vendors that fit your customer, comparing products and price points, and making buying decisions with your budget and profit in mind.
YOUR DALLAS BUYING EXPERIENCE
- Navigate showrooms and temporary exhibitors strategically
- Connect with vendors that fit your boutique
- Evaluate collections, quality, minimums and buying terms
- Build an assortment around your target customer and budget
- Price your selections for profit
