Thank you so much for this video! Soon I’ll be traveling to the LA fashion district for the first time. How many days would you suggest I stay to make sure I have time to see the entire wholesale market? I have a resale certificate.
This is crazy I literally walked through this district years ago way before I decided to do what I currently do. Now I know to go back when I visit thanks for the reminder.
That happened to me when I first moved to LA. I only went to 1 street and wondered why people were so hyped about it. Until a friend showed me the full district. I clearly went to the wrong street the first time. You can walk this district for hours and still not discover everything.
Hello! How is the shipping? Do they have these items already in stock and ship them to you? Or they have to call the manufacturers overseas and you have to pay that 2k for shipping?
My original wholesale vendor video I did I showed the LA Fashion District website where they have the directory of the vendors available. You can literally scroll through the directory and find vendors. Some have websites listed. Some only have phone numbers/emails. You will have to do your own research but you will find a lot. I’ll link that video with this comment in case you haven’t seen it yet. I’m going to warn you that video is so 🥴 is really all I can say lol. It was at the beginning of my RUclips journey. I may need to re-record that 😂 ruclips.net/video/IORa31IVr8o/видео.html
This is so helpful thank you I went to LA for vacation and wanted to go to the wholesale district but I was definitely on the retail side I wish I would have found you sooner so I would of went to the right place. Where do you recommend going for kids clothing what streets are good I’m planning on making another trip but I am wanting to start a children’s boutique and not sure where the wholesale vendors for them are. Thank you
I missed this video. Can you make a video like a step by step video of how you launched your business. Like who yoh used to create your website and then from there what you did.
I have a business license for clothing and accessories and I don't even know where to start this is helpful really looking forward to going there so I can open up my store
Some people commenting here who are not going to be buying the required large volume from wholesale vendors might want to try Santee Alley and buy their merchandise at the shops around there. Prices are low, but it's OK to buy only a few items in one style. It's also easy to find large sizes and other specific markets.
Hi there! I am planning on going Labor Day Weekend is that a good idea? I am traveling 12 hours away. I am barely starting my Boutique, so I don’t have business cards or made purchases to have invoices. Will this be ok? I have my EIN & Sellers Permit. I’m so nervous and excited! So thankful to have seen your video before going ❤️
Greetings from Trinidad. I am in the process of starting up my business. I am from the Caribbean and all we have is Business Registration. Will a Business Registration suffice for a seller's permit? What hotel did you stay in? Thank for your feedback in advance.
I recommend going during the day time. Anytime after 5-6pm can get a little uncomfortable. I wouldn't take kids during the weekdays. Saturdays you may be ok taking kids. I don't think anyone would say anything if you did take your kids during the weekday though. You just usually wouldn't see any kids around since it's considered business hours. The retail side you can definitely take kids at any day any time.
Hello! How is the shipping? Do they have these items already in stock and ship them to you? Or they have to call the manufacturers overseas and you have to pay that 2k for shipping?
I appreciate your effort to highlight the al fashion district...but I am interested in formal , party, prom dresses ..would you give me a list of any vendor in a LA Fashion district... Thank you
If you are international, you shouldn't need it. When I worked for a wholesaler there years ago, we went based off the billing address and we had a ton of customers from South America. If you had an international billing address, no permit was needed. They may require a copy of your passport though.
You can bring whomever you choose. If they are buying they will just have to buy under your certificate. They wouldn’t be able to purchase without one.
I prefer over by the staples center. There's a few hotels and it's only a mile away. Hotels on the other end by the fashion district are close to skid row and can get sketchy later in the day/at night.
Here's a video for custom clothing manufacturers. One of the manufacturers in that video is in LA if you are only looking in LA ruclips.net/video/PALRMKyR7hA/видео.html
This trip I stayed downtown near LA Live (staples center) rooms were averaging about $200/nt. Which is pretty good for that area. If you stay on the outskirts, you might get better rates. To be honest, right now, I recommend staying on the outskirts just because most restaurants and stuff downtown was still closed. I struggled to find food. Only fashion district was open lol. I don't recommend staying near the airport. It's usually a lot cheaper over there but it's cheaper for a reason. I did see on the news more restaurants are going to start opening soon there. So if you are planning a trip for later then downtown will be fine.
Each vendor will have their own rules. If you are looking for vendors without a seller's permit, check out this video. ruclips.net/video/VQHvIfRXWBk/видео.html
Some may accept just a business license but most won't because a lot of these require resale certificate plus invoices (some just a certificate only). If you are traveling there, I recommend having it because it's better safe than sorry. This video may help you out: ruclips.net/video/u7zRJdOvAQs/видео.html Every state has some form of a "resale certificate" minus one. The one state that doesn't have one does provide their businesses with a letter on their website stating they do not have resale certificates. All the websites for all 50 states "resale certificates" are in the video. Hope this helps!
Or, if you received any type of communicate from your state saying you are exempt from their resale certificate, print that out and take with you. I've received something like that from a buyer I believe in Nevada. That exemption notice will also help you.
There's the people that walk around selling knock offs on the retail side. But be prepared to get locked up in a closet just to see it. The product isn't visible from the streets they just walk up to you asking if you are interested in seeing it. Mainly on the weekends. Actual designers are not over in the fashion district.
I created a short with a map of the LA Fashion District to show you where everything is located. ruclips.net/video/zkGrBJ9s9Cc/видео.html
Do I need a license to shop there???
@@nessabilling8157 yes
Do they still do public sale on Saturday mornings?

Does my LLC cover as a resale certificate can I show that? Or my EIN???
Do they sell major brand names ?
So u don’t need a retail certificate but go on Saturday
Hi, thanks for the video. Is there a way to know which stores have plus size clothes before going or when you get down there?
Some people commenting here who are not going to be buying the required large volume from wholesale vendors might want to try Santee Alley and buy their merchandise at the shops around there. Prices are low, but it's OK to buy only a few items in one style. It's also easy to find large sizes and other specific markets.
If this is my first product purchase what can I use besides invoices
Do you find their clothing pieces reasonable?
What area and hotel is good for staying?
Can we use an out of state wholesale license to shop? Or do we need one from California? I called them and jo one answers :(
Every store is different. But I never used a wholesale license. In the stores I've went too
You can use your out of state license.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very informative!
Do you have sneaker vendor.....like Jordan’s???

Yes, some do not require invoices. Just your license.

Thank you
There's a ton of them. They have an entire formal wear section in the fashion district.
Hey, Fantastic video ! Thank you , I have a question if I was coming from overseas would it be difficult for me to obtain a sellers permit/license ?
Just come on Saturday morning where it’s not needed

If you had an international billing address, no permit was needed. They may require a copy of your passport though.
How many people are allowed in with someone who does carry the retail cert?
🧡
You can bring whomever you choose. If they are buying they will just have to buy under your certificate. They wouldn’t be able to purchase without one.
What is the business docs needed
Resale Certificate
Can you go inside the stores to check out the products without your resale certificate yet?
Yes
Yes you can
Do all the vendors make you buy in packs?
Most do, yes. Try buying on the retail side if you don't want prepacks.
Do you know if there any wholesale store anime related.
I don't. I'll have to look into it.
Hello are there any school uniform vendors?
Wat I wanna know is what are the closest hotels around
I prefer over by the staples center. There's a few hotels and it's only a mile away. Hotels on the other end by the fashion district are close to skid row and can get sketchy later in the day/at night.
@@IconicFashionFigure thanks hun

Thanks for watching!

Yes, there are kids vendors as well.
Are they open everyday?
Monday through Friday. Some are open on Saturday's. Usually partial day Saturday but most are closed on the weekends.
Can I get a resale certificate if I live in a different State?
Use your resale certificate from the state you are registered in.
Can you find someone who can make your clothes from scratch? Or is this soley for buying wholesale?
Here's a video for custom clothing manufacturers. One of the manufacturers in that video is in LA if you are only looking in LA ruclips.net/video/PALRMKyR7hA/видео.html

Is the resale certificate in california the same as the seller’s permit?
Do you have vendors for Coach, LV, Gucci, Fendi, Michael Kors purses?

is a sellers permit the same as a resellers permit? if its not how would I apply for a reseller's permit because I only have a sellers permit?
Yes
If you have a sellers permit, you are good!
