Info on Faire from Faire

Faire was founded in 2017 on the belief that the future of retail is local. Our mission is to help independent entrepreneurs chase their dreams, from the artisan candlemaker hoping to grow her business to the enterprising shopkeeper stocking his shelves with unique goods for his community. That’s why we built Faire, an online wholesale marketplace empowering small business owners and independent brands to buy and sell wholesale online.

For retailers shopping for wholesale products, we’ve got straight-forward financial terms and logistics, like free returns and net 60 terms, that were previously only available to large retail chains. For our brands, our platform provides powerful sales, marketing, and analytics tools, so sellers can simplify their wholesale business and focus on what they love: making great products.

We’ve already connected more than 150,000 local retailers with thousands of emerging and established brands, and are inspired every day by the creativity, resilience, and spirit of those fueling the Shop Local movement.

We’re in San Francisco, Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto and Salt Lake City, and backed by investors including Y Combinator, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Forerunner Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund and DST Global.

To help us streamline our wholesale business, we joined Faire in early 2021.

Faire handles all of the eligibility, purchasing and processing of our wholesale orders leaving us with more time to create the unique art that makes your customers say "WOW!"

It also offers you - our wholesale customers - with payment options and other benifits that we as a small business could never offer .
