You need to come in with either really interesting fashion or really amazing prices that they can’t handle, or your manufacturing needs to be spot-on.
Getting a Vendor Number
One way to get a chance to order from Claire’s is to become a vendor for their other retailer, Icing. If you become a vendor for Icing, you can get set up in their system as a vendor and get a vendor number. This number enables you to be processed through their systems.
Claire’s and Icing share the same software system for vendors, so if you become an Icing vendor, you can go back to Claire’s and let them know that you are already in their system. This can be beneficial, as it saves the buyer from having to fill out paperwork.
