Ali we need a CLASS, I would attend 🙋🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️ Love always 💕

[@lorenar8163]

I always get excited when you post a video. It’s fun seeing your journey as young business owner!!

[@brooketho]

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 :)

[@bleachbasically7722]

LUV ❤️ this! Can u make video on how u first got sales when just starting out?

[@gabrielajones318]

I plan on opening up my online boutique next year and I happened upon your KZbin channel, absolutely in love with all your content! I just binge watched all your videos in 3 days! 😅 hahaha. I call it “research for my business”. Your videos are so amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. ♥️

[@nadianorris4037]

can you please do a video about private labeling / putting your own labels on clothing?

[@MichelleCordero]

Literally was just binge watching your videos!!!

[@shantelrousseauonline]

Yay! Would love a video on how you break down purchasing for online vs in-store? Styles/sizes/MOQ's etc.

[@rachdupree]

Love this update! So excited to see more! I found your channel last week and binge watch your videos lol. Not a weirdo I promise. But love to hear about your experience! So inspiring!

[@modalamomo]

I've been shopping at Fashion district since forever! I started going when I was 6 and my mom bought for her stores and now I just launched my own brand last month and got to go back after 5 years of not going.

[@hopeinajar77]

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.

[@chamaryolavarria4316]

Girllll look so good ! Love the purse and the video !!! So educational for the dreamers !!! Love fro Puerto Rico !

[@jalonicarlisle4996]

Thank you Ali for your channel . I literally watch some of your videos EVERYDAY lol . You motivate me so much. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to own my own clothing store and you helped me to just GO FOR it no matter what . Thank you and keep posting. Wish you could post everyday lol -Jai from Texas

I really love your vibe and videos. I would love to know if you could make a video about ; if you have a budget before going to the showrooms or buying shows ? (how much for all your stores ?) How much brands do you pick ? How much styles per brand ? Or do you have something in mind before going ? Would you also do personal branding ? Thanks so much !

[@leahcastillo2749]

Love watching all of your videos! I would love to see one of how you price your items. How much you typically mark them up!

[@candacereneejones]

I love POL. It’s one of my favorite.

[@brooketho]

Ali! I would love to see a video of how you organize new product you get in, for your store as well as your warehouse space. also, how many products do you recommend starting out with?

[@NonokoMiura]

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! very helpful.

[@jjgems5909]

I’ve been to those showrooms and they are honestly the most beautiful things I have ever seen. They’re very exclusive and you can tell these items are sold in big names stores like Nordstrom’s.

[@nadegecarre2012]

You motivate me Ali. I’m work on getting my online store.

[@hayleigh7074]

This is such an interesting process! Love the video:)

[@thesproutingfawnchildrensb5966]

Always wondered if this was worth the trip from Canada! You made it look like it would be 👏🏻 so cool thanks girl

[@hilkamartinez8943]

I love your video I always learn so much ❤️

[@MyTeenLifeLoLTV]

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!!💜

[@sn5771]

Hi what is your email and what kind of products do you carry

[@peacelovesandy4179]

Love it 😍 thanks so much for sharing

[@franciscahair]

I’d love to see how you style your clothing, accessories, etc. Flatlays!!!

[@justelizabethashe]

Francisca Cavallari Same here!

[@melissazimmer5724]

This is so helpful!

[@itspiinkyrose4324]

My 5 year old son loves your hats. He says "mommy allie hats is cool" this the second time he said that he said it the last video too!! He said "who's that allie?" Lol it's so cute

[@Tatelindemann1117]

Ali, When goin to wholesale markets, do you pay there or they send you an invoice for how much you want to order?

[@liezlignacio6437]

I’m in the fashion district very very often, and I will not buy cut fruits off of the street. You’re brave 😆

[@VirginiaMathews94]

How do you determine what your budget is when on a buying trip? Do you only buy in the spring and fall?

[@madisonsamson8770]

Love this!!!

[@karmabeachtique5971]

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.

[@tamaralynnbc]

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!

[@karmabeachtique5971]

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

[@santaalmaraz4001]

Love your videos ali my inspiration my husband is coming with me to l.a. now 🥰

[@keziahb.5485]

You are my inspiration ❤

[@nancyluna7743]

How do you do it in regards to sizes? Do you buy varias sizes or do you just focus on one specific size? Thank you!

[@Seryflorecerpodcast]

Thank you for sharing this ! Can you do a video on taxes?

[@tanyarobinson8591]

Hey, I love that you take us on your wholesale excursion with you. I feel I’ve learned so much and I’m truly inspired by your drive 🥰

[@AllisLife]

Im so happy that I could be of help!! I hope you're killing it in life!

[@jojoundreamt2491]

please do a video on bookkeeping!

[@Inhereyesllc]

Great video! Could you share where you got the less expensive hats?

[@rizzlemyhizzle]

When you shop wholesale like this, do you put your own label on it for white labeling/private labeling? or do you keep the label on it how it comes? thanks!

[@jnehila]

Have you been to New York NOW? Super cool. Some of the vendors I love are a little more exclusive and won't vend to online stores and I totally get that. Curious to hear your experience transitioning from virtual store to brick and mortar and how that enabled you to increase the brands you carry? Would love an advanced video on that that some with a little more experience might benefit from . Love your videos!

[@abigailpadar3653]

How do you budget how much to spend at a market event before you go?

[@tashinarickerson4219]

I would love to see a video about what types of category of clothes to buy. What clothing items should every clothing boutique carry?

[@Kaity11]

Love your videos! I want a brick and mortar store so bad

[@iris5262]

So for the fashion district you mentioned that you’ll more than likely have to show credentials and an invoice . Once one gets the permit , and you’re just starting so no invoices will they still let you in?

[@lavettearciga5080]

You are truly and amazing inspiration

[@thechicscript2307]

Ali when you opened your first store, did you save e-commerce sales and use that to fund the brick and mortar? Or did you take out a small business loan?

[@destinymathes9300]

What do you do when you order wholesale online and don't like the quality of the items? Can you send them back?

[@jabreeyalove3707]

@alli was those quay shades for wholesale ???

[@3rdgilmoregirl585]

How do you keep track of which employee is working and how do you do payroll?

[@AnneTaja]

Hi Alie! I love watching your videos and you have inspired me to launch my first online boutique :) I am still in the beginning stages and keep going back and forth from Shopify to Squarespace. Which platform do you recommend works best?

[@qub4111]

Hi Anne!if you interested to buy wholesale clothes with our own designs from sri lanka (with label or without label)please contact us we will be happy to share our samples with you![e-mail]😊

[@karenhuntington1907]

I wish we had something like this in Australia

[@yanamironova6452]

When do you private label? Can you remove the labels from the clothes you wholesale? Or do you have to source specifically from manufacturers that allow you to label their clothing with your tags?

[@alexlux8337]

Do you try to buy things that are ethically sourced?

[@allyssandrawebber4182]

What’s an example price for a item? Like do you get discount prices for quantity that way you make profit off your inventory?

[@sharronroberts2606]

I love your videos. I’m launching an online boutique soon and your advice has been instrumental. Thank you, I am so very grateful!

[@sheilarebeccasantos3184]

This is amazing 💕

[@kankan572]

Is easel one that you can’t mark up as much or are they affordable wholesale? I’m hoping to have my boutique up n running asap but easel is a brand I’d like to carry just not sure if it’s affordable

[@vihuynh3813]

Hi Alli I’m very interested in all videos that you film. I also would like to start my online boutique. When you shop at these wholesalers, do you need to show them the proof of having boutique as always? Thanks❤️

[@oliviaedwards2613]

Can you also order wholesale online or do you recommend doing it in person instead?

[@AnthonyGF13]

I’m 100% sure I saw you filming this. LOL. I worked on that floor Quay and Lack of Color was on, my neighbors. HAHAHA. And we worked with Lulu’s! I miss wholesale. 😓

[@joyjames5442]

I did something similar like this with my then 2 year old son. It was an exhausting trip but well worth it. We were in LA for 2 day's and that was enough 😂😂

[@Arianas499]

Do you have any tips on staying organized when working with multiple vendors?

[@ParabellumBoutique]

YES! Please.

[@jenniferllanera5668]

Hello I watched your video.. great information. I am an esthetician I do have a spa business but I am working on opening a online boutique. Can you tell me what is better to start with a LLC or sole. I just don’t know 🤔

[@mollymitsueda]

I don’t even want to open my own boutique, your videos are just that entertaining!!!

[@candywayne4718]

Could you please share what credentials are required to get in all markets? Im thinking of starting a business.

[@rashanagibson1591]

I like how she say Eyyy at the beginning 😂😂

[@libby305]

Thank you so much for the info.

[@morganwright6877]

This is the best! Thank you ❤️ subscribing now

[@blueberryhilmaternitybouti6860]

Ali, thank you for sharing this stuff! It truly helps, do you know of any maternity wholesalers out there?

[@juliannapaige8462]

I’ve been building a business plan for a while now, I’m in love with my concept but I have had to put off my dream for a bit because I’m due to have my baby in a few months. But this was so cool to watch, I want to design my own pieces but have a mixture of wholesale

[@itspiinkyrose4324]

I want to do the same for my business as well have a mix of wholesale and my own designs

[@jadapattersonlove]

Good luck!! I’m in the beginning stages of planning Congratulations you’re about to have a baby 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@chaneljones6195]

So how do you private label if they are being sent straight to you? Do you not private label everything?

[@TheRealDeborahR]

Good think I didn't go I'll stick to the other ones I attend. thanks for sharing I thought it would have been more vendors.

[@JamesAshleyVlogs]

Do these apparel shows also have baby/kid vendors? Love the content so inspiring 😇

[@sandrarojas6845]

Can you go over photography for your website? I noticed some clothes are modeled and some clothes are on mannequins. Do wholesalers include pictures of the clothes being modeled or do you have to find models to model your clothes yourself?

[@iesharivers1070]

Can you do a video on how you label your merch?

[@gagemiller4470]

What was the name of the first vendors booth? Loved so many of the sweaters but you did not mention a name!

[@Visual_Voyages2]

What was the first wholesale you pulled from?
