________________________________________________________
For late 2024 into 2025 we're introducing some sophisticated new designs and colors. Our newest look is a weave created to emulate a basket. This design incorporates two to three colors and is simple & chic. We'll introduce array of products using this new weave at Shoppe Object. For now here's a sneak peak in a few different colorways.

ixöq's new colors for 2025
And with new designs, come new colors. The New England coastal collection keeps some brightness but is a little stormier & a little rockier. I find these colors both soothing and slightly mysterious, and I love how they work in the 2025 featured multi-stripe, La Tormenta (the storm).
________________________________________________________
Please note that the collections highlighted above are merely a selection of what's available & new. We still have available all of our previous designs & colors. All of our orders are single-batch made to order so you can customize colors & designs to create the perfect combination for your stores.

Wholesale Purchase Details
We are thrilled that you are interested in placing a wholesale order & excited to work together to create the best collection for your store. For us B2B is equally as important as D2C since it's the best way for ixöq to balance out orders & production & provide a steady and sustainable work flow and income stream for our partner artisans.
We are excited to forge sustainable relationships with retailers who share our mission to create practical, unique, fair trade products that honor the traditions and craft of women artisans of Guatemala. And we can't wait for you to introduce ixöq to your buyers.
Products
Our ixöq cesta totes & boxi line of home storage containers are our two custom lines and include the products we make available to retailers. All of the products in these collections are designed by ixöq & handwoven by our partner artisans in Guatemala using cord made from locally sourced recycled plastic. The lined products are lined using up-cycled fabric, traditionally used for women’s skirts. We design the products with an eye on current trends and colors but with respect for traditional customs and design.

How to purchase wholesale (there are three (four!) options)
* Option one: place an order directly with us.
Download the catalog. Scroll through it. Review the color options, mark some favorites and send us an email (info@ixoqus.com) with your order/ideas OR schedule a call with us to help create your order. This is easy peasy. I'll write the order for your review & invoice you at the time of shipping through Quickbooks. You can also submit a draft order using our WHOLESALE ORDER FORM & sending it via email.
Please note, we try and keep our catalog updated on a seasonal basis but are always introducing new products & designs so if you've seen something along the way that you'd like that you do not see in the catalog please inquire directly about it's availability. WE ARE CURRENTLY CREATING A NEW CATALOG FOR 2024 BUT THE EXISTING CATALOG REFLECTS THE NEW PRICING.
* Option two: shop through FAIRE DIRECT
We offer online wholesale ordering on Faire where you can benefit from their Net60 terms & discounted shipping. Faire offers $100 off and one year of free shipping to retailers new to Faire. If you're a current Faire member you will get the same benefits you always enjoy but we ask that you please use our Faire Direct link & do not just search for us in the system.
* Option three: shop through ShoppeOnline
If you are a buyer through Shoppe Object & have a ShoppeOnline account you can visit our virtual booth & purchase there. If you have a credit card on file in the system we will charge you the invoiced amount due plus shipping & handling at time of shipment. If you do not have a card on file we will bill you directly through Quickbooks as with a direct order.
* Option four: Small order from available inventory (@ 60% retail price)
If you’d like a quicker turn-around and are interested in shopping from our current inventory please use our retail channel to see what's available or email us with an idea of the items you are interested in. We will get back to you with availability and can ship within 7-10 days! (please note that because we produce in small batches we normally do not have more than 2 of any in-stock design/color.) Our standard wholesale prices are 50% of retail. With 'available inventory' orders the cost is 60% of retail since we are pulling from our retail stock.
Customization & customer service
No matter which option you use, we will work directly with you on any customization and to create the perfect collection for your store. This allows you select the sizes, designs and colors of your choice.
Our standard lead time is 5-7 weeks but we take orders up to 6 months in advance. This helps us better coordinate a production schedule that makes sense for us & the artisans. We ask for a 50% deposit for any order with a delivery date more than three months out.
Our MOQ is $300 (approximately 4 skus) & 2 items per sku. You can learn more details on our terms page.
We look forward to working with you and appreciate your interest in carrying ixöq products and in supporting women artisans of Guatemala!
If you have questions or need help please reach out to Katie (co-founder, director, creative) at info@ixoqus.com or 301.785.0421. I am happy to help with selections & navigating the ordering process.
Wholesale Resources
We've put together a resource page to help you once you've started stocking ixöq. This includes Selling Points, Unpacking & Care instructions & some Merchandising Tips & Tricks on how to style, display & promote your ixöq products so they sell! It's a fabulous resource, which you can check out HERE. It also includes access to photo images available for use by wholesale buyers.
