Wholesale Policies
You (“the buyer”) must have a physical shop, with or without an online website, OR be an online-only seller with an established following to be eligible for a wholesale account and remain a reseller of my goods. Selling on third party websites (Etsy, Ebay, Amazon) and purchasing items for personal use is strictly prohibited.
ALL buyers are reviewed and vetted to ensure fit and to confirm that your shop is a legitimate business. I obtain the right to deny applications that may not be appropriate or decline orders if shops are in violation of policies outlined.
