Typically, wholesale orders are secured well in advance, but for S/S24, we took matters into our own hands. Recognizing the challenges of breaking into wholesale during the initial season, we decided to back ourselves, procuring the stock upfront. Our primary focus has been on engaging with fashion independents nationwide, although they're becoming increasingly scarce. Despite the harsh economic climate, our retail and online presence indicates growing traction for MARAI. This brand awareness will only amplify with subsequent deliveries and marketing efforts. Our approach to wholesale centers on supporting retailers during these trying times, fostering collaborations to integrate MARAI into their offerings. By offering stock, we allow retailers to invest in the brand without overextending financially, with the option to replenish from our inventory based on demand. Amidst the challenges, we've managed to secure eight accounts and initiated promising discussions for future partnerships.
