Other Wholesale Buying Options
Yes, Hubventory is our top pick—but let’s explore a few other ways boutique owners source inventory (and how they compare).
1. Apparel & Gift Markets
Markets like Atlanta, Dallas, Vegas, and others offer a chance to see, touch, and feel products in person. You’ll find trending vendors in the Temps, curated collections in showrooms, and sometimes cash & carry deals on jewelry and accessories.
Great for inspiration and relationship building—but it comes with travel costs, time off, and prep.

2. Los Angeles Wholesale District
Looking for fast fashion? LA’s San Pedro wholesale district is packed with quick-turn product options—but it takes strategy. Expect a full day (or two) of walking, digging, and hunting. Know your route ahead of time and bring water, snacks, and comfy shoes.
P.S. Did you know we take a small group of boutique owners to the LA Wholesale District each year? It’s an exclusive experience just for Retail Bootcamp students—and it’s one of our favorite ways to shop smarter and connect in real life. Get on the list here to be the first to know about our next trip!
What You Buy Matters Just as Much as Where You Buy
Regardless of where you source from—Hubventory, markets, or LA—your buying strategy makes all the difference.
✔️ Source brands that align with your price point and customer expectations
✔️ Build in enough margin to grow and sustain your business
✔️ Avoid pricing too low, too fast—you can always markdown, but you can’t always raise prices later
✔️ Invest in content: custom photography, try-on sessions, flat lays, and video build trust and drive conversions
