Todays video takes place in the L.A wholesale fashion district! Follow me to the L.A Market Week fashion show where I show you some cute wholesale brands that I found! Then we will go to the los Angelas wholesale fashion district so I can show you how it all works and what to expect when you visit!
About Me:
I’m Alli Schultz, the owner of Nomad Boutique. I own two store locations as well as an online boutique! I love sharing my insider knowledge about owning a fashion boutique for other boutique owners and anybody wondering how to start a boutique. I always dreamt of starting a business and being my own boss. Thanks to my amazing customers, this dream is now a reality and I want to help you make your dreams come true, too.

In my country Indonesia we have our own wholesale fashion district, it's called Tanah Abang - actually it's one of the biggest fashion wholesale district in South East Asia. This vlog truly fascinates me because each country has their own style of fashion district yet it's so familiar since the system are practically the same. My parents owned 2 stores selling wholesale fashion there, we actually produce our own products and I'm currently helping running the 2nd store. We used to accept orders from big companies as well (maybe not into thousands, but hundreds definitely) It's my dream to one day opening my very own boutique, despite my family's business I actually learnt so much from your videos too. Thank you for the great content Alli!!💜

I'm so glad you took us along for this! I've always wanted to see what it's like from a buying perspective, a few of the other videos I've seen don't really take you in depth like you did :)) I'm hoping to open my own boutique in January and your videos have definitely helped me out a lot!! thanks for taking the time to do stuff like this I know your probably super busy with both stores, the new warehouse plus the online space.. it really helps a lot :)

Thank you for the education. I started a subscription box brand and I'm so discouraged when it comes to sourcing. It's a challenge sourcing small quantities. Most vendors want you to spend a lot. Thanks for being so open, this video validated that small quantities are possible. I just have to find vendors who aren't trying to rob my startup (that makes nothing starting out) and will work with my small quantities until I grow.

Thanks for sharing Alli. I attended the Coiterie and Cabana Show NY last month. You would absolutely LOVE that show. Personally, I found it overwhelming and it wld take 5-6 days to cover but it’s only open for 3. I’m so glad that I didn’t spend the money to fly into LA for the show but I would love to hit the LA market places and shop. The hats are fantastic that you bought great great selection and I actually love the cactus earrings since I’m relocating to Scottsdale I’ve got to find those and get them for my boutique anyway thank you so much oh that I really enjoy your videos you’re really good and I wish you continued success.

Hey Darlene, Ive also been to the Coiterie and Cabana Show and absolutely LOVE it! To help with the overwhelm for 2020 shows, you can check out the vender list for the show ahead of time and see which venders interest you most. This way you have a set plan going into the shows, and won't feel as overwhelmed. Hope this helps!

Tamara Lynn Hello Tamara. I did plan but I just couldn’t focus. The best thing O did was bring 2 good friends with me who are retailers, we split up and they found some awesome vendors for me. I sell high end so they really found things more for them but it was a win win for all. Thank you so much for your suggestions and I report to meeting you. If you can remember hit me up on the next one comes around and maybe we can have lunch and walk the floors together and have a great time all right talk soon bye-bye
