One of the things that makes any boutique stand out among the rest is their taste for fashion showcased through the unique lines they carry. No matter how fancy a boutique’s marketing campaign may be, at the end of the day, shoppers still have to love the merchandise! Through our Designer Discovery features, we hand pick a few of our favorite wholesale lines to help you discover popular new merchandise that might be a great fit for your boutique and customers!
We love long, layering necklaces and sassy bangles – so fittingly, we’re excited to introduce you to Pink Panache Jewelry!
Perfect for the woman who doesn’t mind a little extra attention when she walks in the room, this unique line is hand-crafted in Texas and started as a hobby for sisters DeeDee Plank and Noelle Plank Salmon. Soon, they found out that their unique designs were in demand far beyond their loyal friends and family, and began a bustling wholesale company which now provides merchandise to some of the largest and most popular boutiques across the country!
We got to visit with Noelle and DeeDee of Pink Panache about the line, as well as what makes the brand so unique.
