Who we work with
The right fit for your store
We partner with retailers who understand quality leather and have a customer base that appreciates it. We don't distribute to fast-fashion environments or mass-market outlets.
🏪
Independent boutiques
Single or multi-location independent fashion retailers with a curated offer and quality-conscious clientele. Our most common wholesale partner type.
🧳
Leather goods specialists
Stores focused on leather — bags, accessories, footwear — for whom stocking premium leather outerwear is a natural extension of their existing range.
🌐
Online multi-brand retailers
E-commerce stores with an established audience for premium menswear or womenswear. Strong product photography and content capabilities preferred.
🏨
Concept stores & hotels
Concept retail, hotel boutiques, and lifestyle destinations where leather jackets sit alongside other premium lifestyle products.
✂
Tailors & bespoke outfitters
Tailoring studios and bespoke outfitters who want to offer leather as part of a complete wardrobe service — either as Vault & Hide branded or private label.
🌍
International distributors
Regional distributors seeking exclusive or non-exclusive territory arrangements. We have capacity in select markets — contact us to discuss availability.
Eligibility
Who we can and can't work with
We're selective about wholesale partners — not to be difficult, but because our brand depends on where and how our jackets are sold.
✓ We work well with
Registered retail businesses with 12+ months trading history
Stores with an existing premium or luxury positioning
Retailers who photograph and present product to a high standard
Online stores with genuine organic traffic and an established audience
Boutiques with physical retail presence (online-only considered case by case)
International partners in markets with no exclusive distributor
Partners willing to comply with our MAP (minimum advertised price) policy
✕ We can't work with
Marketplaces that sell on price alone (including unauthorised Amazon or eBay resale)
Fast fashion or low-price volume retailers
Drop-shippers without physical stock commitment
Retailers who cannot or will not honour MAP pricing
Businesses in markets already covered by exclusive distributors
Businesses that cannot provide proof of trading entity and VAT/tax registration
Grey market or parallel import operations
If you're unsure whether your business qualifies, apply anyway — we review every application individually. If we can't work together now, we'll tell you honestly and explain what would need to change.

Questions
Trade account FAQs
Common questions from trade applicants and existing wholesale partners.
We generally require 12 months of trading history, but we consider new businesses on a case-by-case basis — particularly if you can demonstrate relevant retail experience, a strong store concept, or a committed opening order. Contact us at [email protected] before applying if you're in your first year of trading and we'll advise honestly.
Territory exclusivity is available for Silver and Gold tier partners in markets where we don't already have exclusive distribution. Exclusivity is granted on a per-city, per-region, or per-country basis depending on the market and order commitments. Contact our trade team to check availability in your territory before applying — we'll tell you honestly whether exclusivity is possible.
No — Vault & Hide trade accounts explicitly prohibit sale through third-party marketplaces (including Amazon, eBay, ASOS Marketplace, and similar) without written approval. Violations result in immediate account suspension. If you operate an authorised brand-controlled storefront on a platform, contact us — this may be approved case by case.
We operate on a two-season model — Spring/Summer (orders placed October–December, delivery February–March) and Autumn/Winter (orders placed April–June, delivery August–September). Silver and Gold partners get an 8-week preview window before the catalogue opens to Entry tier. Repeat reorders are accepted year-round subject to availability.
Yes — all trade accounts receive a product asset pack with high-resolution photography, lifestyle images, technical specs, and product descriptions. Silver and Gold accounts receive a full asset pack including video content and social media crops. Gold accounts can request co-branded campaign assets. Assets are available via the trade portal immediately on account approval.
MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is set at 85% of our current RRP for each style. You may sell at whatever price you choose — MAP only governs the price you advertise publicly (online listings, printed materials, promotional emails, social posts with prices). You can discount in-store at point of sale or to loyalty customers without MAP applying. Seasonal sale windows for Gold tier partners are agreed in advance each season.
