This unbelievably well rounded business was established 22 years ago by the current owner featuring free spirited fashions, accessories, handicrafts and gifts from the Himalayas. The importing is done from the democratic country of Nepal (no child labor & they do speak English) where the owner has developed a newly incarnated easier process. The goods are imported and distributed from the US Wholesale Outlet in Carmel Valley and the Retail location is adjacent allowing for employees to be cross trained for all aspects of the business. The historical product base is extensive and marketed through trade shows, nationwide reps, web site, and retail festivals. The business has a long standing loyal client base with vendors like Disney and Gaiam catalog. A member of the Fair Trade Federation for over seven years, the business is appreciated by many in both countries due to its location, longevity and community outreach. The write offs and add backs are great with the research travel that is involved in running the entire business but recently simplified. The owner’s current focus is streamlining all processes to simplify the current lines with a focus on the best sellers, increasing profit margins, and decreasing design time devoted to the business setting it up for an easy smooth transition for the new owner. This is a very long standing, solid, steady business with a proven track record. The owner will fully train the buyer with possibility of availability for consulting to ease the transition.
Due to the owners astute repositioning of the company, it is now easily movable to any location with the main focus being wholesale. Such a great rare opportunity, owner really hates to sell, but wants to slow down and write. The entire business is priced at only $190,000 plus inventory.
