 'Successful people do the things un-successful people don't want to do'

 

 

To satisfy the requests, I have simplified my Boutique Buyers Entrepreneurs homepage and reduced the amount of information shown, which was becoming too much to digest all at once. The important parts remain as you will see below.

 

The site, blueprint digital download e-book and paperback book all provide vital resources which hugely assist emerging men's, women's & accessory fashion designers, fashion students & graduates, creative individuals, brands and labels with the area's that are least studied or focused upon, yet are imperative for success in the real fashion industry.

 

These area's include showroom sales, agent sales, distributorship deals, PR, exhibitions, e-commerce and fashion buyer importance. I can tell you this, without sales, any promotional work you do, any runway shows, exhibitions, fashion shoots and sample collections you produce will all be wasted if no sales orders are placed for your merchandise. Even your stunning website will be wasted if traffic is not driven to it, therefore it is vital to focus on this area with the same dedication and enthusiasm as developing the collection and I am going to show you how. This is all about what to do, what not to do (very important) and also to provide you with everything you must know and be pretty savvy about, in order for success. The real question is 'how do you go about securing orders from fashion buyers?', read on!

 

Simply put, if you want to save an enormous amount of time and money whilst at the same time developing real success in the fashion industry, then you are at the right place and at the right time.

 

Furthermore, I am going to give you a complete, full contact detail, men's, women's and accessory buyer database and fashion editor database. You are going to see what a professionally written press release looks like and much much more. Why produce collections and samples that nobody orders? All that happens with those collections is that they are cleared at sample sales, a complete waste of time and money. I am going to show you how it is done by professionals, just follow our footsteps.

 

 

 

 

I have worked in the fashion industry for 27 years and still am, supplying both bluechip multiples and premier independent retailers and e-tailers. Everything contained in my e-book stems from many many years of first hand experience and I have tried to leave nothing out.

 

My E-book is not about me or my life in the business. It is a detailed blueprint with both explanations and examples. It comes complete with a comprehensive men's and womenswear buyer and press contact directory containing over 1050 full detail contacts and outlines what we do as professionals in order to attract orders, which are the lifeblood of the business.

 

 

 

 

 

The business is not difficult to understand, however without precise knowledge you will be at great risk of losing a lot of money, for example, if you do not have certified & legalised terms and conditions on the reverse of order sheets you will be asking for trouble. Also if you don't know your DDP from your CIF or FOB (shipping terms) you could even end up selling merchandise at a loss which would be a cardinal sin!

 

If your masterplan involves supplying the bluechip multiples as I do, Topshop, Topman, Miss S, Next, River Island etc, then do not even consider this if the factories who produce your merchandise are not fully SEDEX or SGS audited at the very least. The bluechips and their in-house QA departments (Quality assurance) will not touch you! Better you know now than waste much time and money later. Dealing with bluechip multiples means you must have a complete production department who are fully trained in all QA compliance procedures including  fabric/washcare/dying testing to 'REACH' standards, broken needle policies etc. It is a technical minefield so initially my advice is not to even try to entertain these types of multiple retailers at the outset.

 

The e-book has fast become an underground blueprint for success in the industry and has been endorsed by fashion students, emerging designers, brands and labels worldwide. If you seek further knowledge regarding the business then you have found it as well as a buyer directory containing over 1050 fashion and accessory Buyers and Fashion editors and assistants for all the major publications in the world. It's all in the e-book.

Hi Renato,

 I bought your book and have so far found it amazingly helpful. I am currently in the process of putting together my debut collection of high-end ladies wear dresses, hoping to sell to designer boutiques and department stores for SS13. It’s so wonderful you have written a book giving advice on what no-one has done before. I found it refreshing, to the point and a reminder to all the small detail that I could have otherwise overlooked.

 Thanks again,

Laura Henning

Dear Renato

I would like to express my appreciation for the advice I have received from you.I sent out an e flyer today and I already have strong interest and order talks from two different boutiques, one in ireland and another in harrogate.

 

Thanks a million as this is the best start for Robe.

Best Regards

I am often asked " Where do we show the collection from?" or "Can i show from home?"

 

Showrooms are expensive, even short term showrooms on a 4 - 6 week let are expensive. If you plan to show your collection in central London, showrooms are very expensive and if you don't have fixed appointments there is nothing worse than sitting around in your paid for showroom waiting for buyers to show up! It would be much more cost effective to either take part in a well attended & recognised trade exhibition, where buyers visit en masse.

 
Great to fix appointments with buyers at their stores also. Buyers don't mind this initially as it's a zero risk/outlay for them. I tell you the terminology we use, as well as tricks we employ, to get us in front of them.

The only affordable & easy to follow fashion resource available on the internet which includes full & current address & contact details for over 650 UK Department store fashion & Accessory buyers, lifestyle boutique buyers & top end e-tailers, plus 400 fashion editors for every major publication.

 

**Updated 05/01/2012**
 

 

My advice, don't invest in a showroom unless you have guaranteed fixed appointments with buyers & if you do take a showroom, double book your appointments! Buyers cancel at the last minute, forget completely, get delayed or take extended lunches. You would be better off having multiple buyers in the showroom at the sametime! I have done this numerous times and it actually has the effect of creating such a buzz around the collection, buyers feel as though they are missing out if they don't place an order. Ideal for us.


 

For short term showrooms in central London, contact Kelly Myers at The Langham Estate on 020 7580 5656 or email kelly.myers@langhamestate.com  I have found Kelly to have reasonably priced showrooms in W1 but still expect them to be in the region of  £2400.00 plus VAT per month (That's about £85 per day) This is for approx 500sq ft which can accommodate about 4/5 6ft garment rails, holds about 350 hanging garments/Accessories & bags. He handles UK showrooms for designers worldwide wanting a central London UK base whilst showing their collection in London.

 

 

 

 Much more of this type of advice in the e-book.

 

  

 

I loved reading Some Buyers Will Some Buyers Wont.  It was informative and very easy to understand.  I loved the way it was written and straight to the point.  I do intend on using the contacts that you have send me.  Usually this information is very hidden and expensive.  If you have anything else and would like any feedback I would love to read it.  I have been learning everything on my own and it is nearly impossible to find someone like you who shares their knowledge with people like me.

When I started in this business as a 19 year with no knowledge & even less contacts, I was told, by so called industry experts, I would not survive in the fashion business! They thought because I was just a 'regular' guy that I didn't have what it takes! Great proving people wrong & making them eat their words.

 

I did just that & proved them all wrong. From a starting point of selling t-shirts & knitwear to Topshop & Miss Selfridge for Jeffrey Rogers, I ended up traveling to all the major fashion weeks around the world & selling couture dresses, via Harrods, to Saudi princesses by Maria Grachvogel. I had to drive to 10 Downing Street to deliver dresses & suits by Sara Sturgeon to the then Prime Ministers wife! Today, in 2012, I still sell high fashion & I still travel all around the world exhibiting at Fashion weeks.

   

Along the way I have supplied some of the best department stores in the world including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Brown Thomas,  Neiman Marcus, El Corte Ingles, Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Lane Crawford, David Jones, Harrods, Liberty to name a few & hundred's of the very best fashion & lifestyle boutiques in the UK & around the world. If I can, you can, it is the knowledge & confidence that counts.

 

 
 

The words 'cannot' or 'impossible' do not exist because if i can, you can & this e-book shows you exactly how!

  

 It took me quite a few years to collate everything I have learned right from the warehouse, through production rooms, sampling rooms, design rooms, cmt outworkers, factories & sales showrooms.

 

  I have now put all of that information, along with up to date buyer name & full contact detail buyer directory, into a very easy to follow resource guide, in the form of an e-book and paperback all available here at Boutique Buyers.
 

These buyer & fashion editor contacts are invaluable & cannot be bought anywhere on the web! You cannot Google buyer names or contact details & here it is, all provided for you, plus everything you ever needed to know about getting into these stores. Don't even think about it! Just go for it and make full use of this fantastic,  offer. It really is as good as it seems.

  

 

 
I also offer a full one to one consultation which entails going through your collection in depth and advising on every area.  Please contact me directly at mail@boutiquebuyers.com for full details of this service.

 

 

I came out of the consultation learning so much more and it has given both of us the confidence we needed to go forward from here. Thats down to you, so we very much appreciate it. It was nice also to meet a real gent, there are not many these days so again was great to meet with you in person. Appreciate you still pursuing your contacts for us too.

These fashion & fashion accessory buyers in the directory, complete with buyer name & full contact details, are responsible for stocking everything from fashion clothing, swimwear, lingerie and jewelery to accessories, bags, belts, gloves, shoes and even scented candles ( only the very best of course)
 

They are also very interested in both 'ethical fashion' & the growth in ' organic fashion'.

 The fashion Editors I have listed are the creme de la creme for all the major publications.

 

 This book is for everyone, students, graduates, designers, PR's, companies & individuals. Regardless of background, all who aspire to sell their merchandise through premier UK retailers & e-tailers, this is where you get your head start.

 

If you are remotely interested in supplying your fashion merchandise to these buyers, no matter where you are in the world, grab a copy of Some Buyers Will, Some Buyers Won't plus buyer directory now.

 

What will you find me doing today in the fashion business?

Today I work with the multiples. The largest retailers in the world, such as Next, River Island, M&S, Urban Outfitters, Shop Direct, Republic and the like. These multple retailers buy specific licensed fashion merchandise from me that they cannot do themselves. The orders are large ( 5000 - 10,000pcs per style per col).

 I enjoy this new element of working, It is largely done via cloud computing and Cad's ( Computer aided designs) which I find fun. Negotiation is still a very large part of my business, Oh and I still brand build with smaller emerging menswear, womenswear & accessory designers to help them launch their collections the correct way, so all in all I keep myself pretty busy.

 I also still work in the Couture and Haute Couture environment. I represent one designer who sells to Saudi Royalty, Barneys, Net a Porter, Browns, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, etc so I am still highly active in the luxury arena also.

 

 



With 27 years experience in the UK fashion business, 20 of those years in sales, the rest spent in every department within a fashion house, this straightforward guide has been put together by one who knows the tricks of the trade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Buyers Will, Some Buyers Won't, 5 Feb 2012
This review is from: Some Buyers Will, Some Buyers Won't. (Paperback)
This book is a 'must have' if you're thinking about setting up a fashion label.
It has a really well rounded, easy to read, approach to help you avoid the many pitfalls. Every step of the process is covered and there are many examples - in addition there is an invaluable list of fashion buyers (and anyone trying to sell their collections to boutiques and department stores alike will know how difficult even obtaining the right contact name is!).

I highly recommend this book and think it's the best of those  available in this area.

 

Save yourself a fortune in time & money! It;s all here!

The Legalised & Certified UK terms & conditions provided in the e-book will alone save you  £200.00!

 

 

 

 

And don't forget, When purchasing my eye opening e- book from Boutique Buyers you wil also get the free e-book "Get Paid to shop" by Avril Harper.
