Answer four questions and get a short list of shops from the 1125 in the directory: how each one wants to be pitched, any line sheet or subject-line rules, and whether it buys wholesale or on consignment. When a shop hasn't said how it buys, we say not stated rather than guess.

Want shops to find you too? Founding Featured puts your brand in front of the buyers who use Open Shelf: $29 for your first year, and we'll build your card for you. After you join, we can also review a list like this one with you (Pitch Review, a $49 add-on arranged by email at [email protected]).
How the list is picked
We filter the directory by your answers, then put shops that are accepting now and that clearly state your buying model first. Shops that haven't published their terms appear after them, marked not stated, so you know to ask. Shops that only say the opposite model (consignment-only when you want wholesale, for example) are left out. Every shop links to its own submission page; policies change, so read it before you send.
Save shops to your pitch tracker to keep a list and mark what you've sent. It's stored only in this browser.

Which independent shops are open to new brands.
New listings in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and 217 more cities (and the next cities as we add them), calls that just closed, vetted brand picks for buyers, and pitch notes from the other side of the counter. Sent as a short email occasionally while we're new, and growing into a weekly list as more shops and brands sign up — so we only email when there's a batch worth your inbox.
