In this episode of the Make Good Fashion Podcast, I’m diving into why getting your fashion brand into retail stores is more achievable than you might think—and why it’s crucial for your brand’s growth. I’ll share my personal journey of transitioning from direct-to-consumer to wholesale, highlighting how diversifying sales channels can make a big difference.


I’ll walk you through practical steps to get started with retail placements, like creating a polished line sheet, researching the right stores for your brand, and using online wholesale marketplaces. I’ll also explain why starting small with local boutiques can pave the way for breaking into larger retailers and why keeping a strong digital presence is just as important.
