Noblivity Boutique Blitz…
We are very excited when the entire sales team gets together for a Boutique Blitz.
We love them. The Blitz allows us an opportunity to introduce awesome new brands to as many stores as possible in one or two days. The store owners welcome us into their stores and ooh and ahh about all of the relevant new products we are able to introduce to them.

Turn Inventory Faster with Little Independent
Is there an item on your store’s sale rack that has been lingering too long? Check out Little Independent: a new online marketplace for sale items at independent retail stores. All items are offered by locally owned, brick and mortar stores and are at least 10% off their original price. The site features unique stores and great sales. Check back often as new stores are joining and adding additional sale items all the time.
The Little Independent Story:
My husband and I own a neighborhood bike shop in Chicago. We had a helmet in stock that just wouldn’t sell. It was on the higher end of the price scale and it was a larger than average size. We marked it down and then marked it down again. We showed it to customers we thought might like it. We put it out for the sidewalk sale. We promoted it through social media. The helmet still didn’t sell. I knew someone out there would be happy to have that helmet for a great price and I wished there was an easier way to reach that person.
My store doesn’t sell through our website, but even my neighbors that do have e-commerce sites sometimes find themselves with an item that lingers a little too long on the sale rack. There are some large online marketplaces I could have tried to list the helmet on but I found many of them to be a bit more expensive and time consuming than I wanted.
There was no inexpensive and easy to use online marketplace just for independent stores like mine. I decided to create Little Independent to fill that need and to celebrate the unique independent stores where we all love to shop.
Little independent can help you sell your sale rack – meaning faster turnover and access to new customers. Sell your first 3 items for free!
By the way, we did eventually sell that helmet. Thanks for your time and I hope to visit your store on Little Independent.
About:

New Boutique: YMC launch second stand alone store in London’s Spitalfields
Cult fashion brand YMC (You Must Create), have officially opened their second standalone store in London’s East End, where their journey began 15 years ago. The store is based in a brand new space at 23 Hanbury Street, in part of the fashionable Truman Brewery that hosts Brick Lane’s famous Sunday Up Market.
Founder and designer Fraser Moss created the concept for the new store interior which is heavily influenced by the Victorian days, in correlation with their Poland Street store which houses Victorian curiosities, and a bleak Industrial aesthetic emanating from the space the store locates. The Victorian theme plays on the macabre and industrial toil with direct references to abattoirs, mausoleums, schools and factories. All features & fittings were sourced from around the world by the YMC team & are mostly original vintage pieces, including authentic post war leather and wood prosthetic limbs (for displaying shoes and accessories), a fully functioning 1920’s till, and a beautiful antique French metal postal desk.
The store features a unique Victorian-feel wood frontage encasing a beautiful stained glass lettering YMC above the door. A double-faced station clock, an original timepiece from nearby Old Street station in the 1930’s, sits up-high outside the store giving passers-by a teaser of what lies within.
The interior walls have be tiled with irregular sized white brick tiles, accentuated with a combination of cement & parquet wood flooring. A central authentic mausoleum slab counter acts as a display unit, while another slab doubles as a desk and counter at the back of the store. Clothing rails are custom-made from original Victorian nut carts on iron wheels, with Sunday school benches, Victorian shelving and tables on casters all adding to the feel.
Industrial references are seen throughout in metal design features from prison doors adorning the changing rooms, giant factory lights, ceramic glove mould cage lights down each wall, and an interior double faced factory clock. These elements are offset with more curious elements of intrigue such as various real animal skeletons & vintage medical charts, all combining to epitomise a unique mixture of styles and influences, socharacteristic of the YMC brand.
