Last night l got this email from a new wholesale customer and it made me soooo happy.
"GOT THEM AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH..... you are so sweet, so talented and so quick!
No doubt, we'll be re-ordering these"

I am grateful everyday for the opportunity to do something l absolutely love for a living an when l get this kind of response it is really the icing on the cake.
 
 
I was most flattered when l was approached by CultureLabel.com, an eclectic online marketplace that brings together a hand-curated edit of the most stylish products and affordable art from hundreds of galleries, artists, independent stores and museums from around the world.
Their  founding partners comprise iconic UK arts brands including Tate, V&A, Saatchi Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery and many more.
Praise from the Press includes Vogue that was described CultureLabel.com as "An emporium of desirables" and the Guardian as "An innovation that blends public value with a consumer-focused approach."
The direct link to my shop there can be found here.
 
 
The Benaki Museum  is one of the major and oldest museums in Greece, an absolute must see if you happen to travel to the city of Athens
The museum also operates three shops that showcase museum replicas and an eclectic selection of the works of a small number of greek designers. I was very horoured to start selling at the shop in Piraios street a couple of years ago and l was even more happy to have my signeture kilim bags picked up for the shop in the mail building in Koumbari str as well as its newest space in Kriezotou street, thus making the museum my exclusive retailer for the city of Athens!
 
 
For Maslinda, wholesale is a very important part of our overall bussines. I am very happy to have placed my creations in selected shops  in Greece and around the world and l am always working on reaching out more.
Here are the most frequently asked questions l get form shops owners when they need to find out more about my brand.

DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM ORDER?                                                                                                               
You can start with an order as small as 100 euro/130 USD or the equivalent in your country’s currency. I recommend that you start with at least 5-6 pieces to give your customers the opportunity to get to know and appreciate our brand. Or, you can shop from the "Bundles" section, where prices start as low as $48!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ORDER TO GET READY?                                                                  
I am an experienced wholesaler and small orders (10-20 items) for individual boutiques usually ship as fast as 5-7 days. Larger orders may take longer; l can give you an accurate estimate as soon as you place your order. If you want you order delivered in a particular date please state that clearly an l will let you know if it is feasible or not.
I SEE THAT YOU ARE LOCATED IN GREECE, WILL SHIPPING TO MY COUNTRY WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE?                                                                                                                                                
We ship our orders via registered mail and rates are very reasonable.                                                                                  The cost of a small wholesale order, say 10 pieces is about $20 USD. I can give you a much more accurate figure after you place your order and if you are uncomfortable with that you can modify or cancel it. If you want to you a different shipping service please contact me.     
WILL IT TAKE FOREVER TO ARRIVE?                                                                                                
Delivery normally takes 7-15 working days to most destinations outside the EU. During the holiday season it might take a little longer, up to a month.                            
WHAT ABOUT TAXES AND CUSTOMS?                                                                                                                     
You are responsible for all taxes and customs in your country. You can get an idea of the costs here: http://www.ehow.com/how_6764301_calculate-customs-charges.html
HOW CAN I PAY YOU?                                                                 
All payments are easily and safely processed via PayPal. You can use your credit card or Pay Pal account. All payment must clear in full upon submitting your order otherwise the order will be cancelled. If you have any questions about how pay this might help: https://www.paypal.com/gr/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/general/NewConsumerWorks-outside&nav=0.0.1

I am super excited that the latest place to find Maslinda's tribal chic necklaces and rope bracelets is Boom and Mellow, a really gorgeous high end accessories boutique in the multi cultural city of Dubai.

Boom and Mellow is like a life size jewelry box, stocking one of a kind jewelry and accessories from New York, London, Paris, Japan, Brazil, Beirut and Greece. With a  touch of Parisian flair, a dash of London chic and plenty of downtown New York cool Boom and Mellow's  style comes together to make for a uniquely elegant feeling.
