Seeking Talented Makers/Vendors

If you're interested in selling your crafted items through our retail store, start by submitting your answers to this questionnaire. 

VENGUCCI offers two business models for select vendors:

WHOLESALE:  Under our wholesale model, VENGUCCI purchases vendor made items at 50% of the listed retail price of currently established vendor listings.

Advantages of Wholesale Model for Vendors:  Vendors receive compensation prior to the crafted items selling through our store.

Disadvantages of Wholesale Model for Vendors:  Due to budgetary constraints, Wholesale Vendors are generally afforded less retail space to display their crafted items and display quantity is often governed primarily by monetary limitations of the store.  Additionally, the vendor receives less for their items under wholesale than the same items listed under consignment.

CONSIGNMENT:  Under our consignment model, the vendor/s receives 65% of the listed retail price when the item/s are sold through our store.  Under this model the vendor collects on items which have sold through our store.

Advantages of Consignment Model for Vendors:  Vendors receive higher compensation relative to their retail list price and retail space afforded to Consignment Vendors is often greater than that found under the Wholesale model since VENGUCCI does not have an initial outlay of funds to stock the store with the vendors products.

Disadvantages of Consignment Model for Vendors:  The vendor must "front" their products for placement in the store thereby delaying compensation to the vendor until the item/s sell.

In order to sell your creations in our store, your work must be juried. This is done by a private panel and the criteria for acceptance is as follows: Design, Originality, Presentation, Retail Potential, Suitability to our space limitations, and whether the items are in direct competition with our other consignees.

While we will consider all applications and product submissions, we are currently seeking vendors who specialize in the following areas:

1.  EPOXY/RESIN WOOD CREATIONS 

2.  WOOD CARVED CREATIONS

3.  LEATHER CARVING / ARTISTIC LEATHER CREATIONS

4.  ARTISTIC METAL FABRICATION

5.  WOOD CARVED FLAGS (wavy and standard)

VENGUCCI does not make or sell any commercially produced products or Faux-type items.  Example: Faux Wood, Faux Leather, Faux Stone.

VENGUCCI prides itself on authentic designs constructed with authentic materials by authentic creators.

In general, VENGUCCI items have a rustic, woodsy, farmhouse vibe.  We favor natural materials with an artistic punch to the senses.  We've included a sample gallery below of some random items we've found on the Internet to give the vendor applicant/s a sense of the overall vibe we are searching for.

VENGUCCI is a family oriented store and will not accept items which are vulgar in nature.  All items must be "family friendly" as our store is often frequented by customers with young children.
