What is your wholesale pilot program?
Pilot Program for Spring 2026: Wholesale at Findings Fair
We’re excited to share that we’re exploring the addition of a wholesale component to Findings Fair, with the goal of officially launching the program this Spring. As a first step, we’ll be piloting this initiative at our Spring Fair and are currently gauging interest from participating vendors.
Our vision is to create new opportunities for our community of talented makers, designers, and artists to connect directly with small shops and boutiques—starting regionally here in California. By facilitating thoughtful wholesale relationships, we hope to help intentional, well-crafted goods reach more customers through aligned retail partners.
This is not a shift into a traditional B2B tradeshow model. Rather, we’re creating a curated space for fellow retailers to discover inspiring independent brands, source unique products, and build meaningful relationships with creatives. At its core, this initiative is about supporting small businesses on both sides of the table and amplifying the value of working with independent, one-of-a-kind brands.
This concept is led by Whitney, founder of Findings Market, who brings a unique background spanning both retail and wholesale. Prior to launching Findings, Whitney worked with MAGIC Las Vegas, one of the leading U.S. trade shows, and later played a key role in revitalizing the LA Textile Show. As both a shop owner and event organizer, she brings a deep understanding of how to thoughtfully bridge the gap between independent brands and boutique retailers—and how shops can source special goods that keep their shelves as unique as their communities.
We’re excited to begin shaping this new offering and would love to hear your thoughts and gauge your interest in participating in the pilot. For now, this program will be offered exclusively at the Spring Fair, allowing retailers to buy for Summer and/or Holiday 2026 and place orders in time for peak seasons ahead.
Thank you—we’re grateful to be building this alongside you.
