I have been making some hand knitted garments mostly for friends, and recently I have been approached by a boutique that is interested in stocking my wares.
As a point of reference I will say all of my items are handmade using traditional hand manipulated techniques and expensive organic fibers and yarns. I have a university background in fiber arts and textiles. Each garment is unique and very time consuming. I never expected to sell anything, this is very different from what I do for a living, and something I do on the side as a way to keep the skills I have learned in school alive.
I really have no idea what fair prices are for consignment or stocking items in a store. But it is a pretty cool opportunity and I would like to take advantage of it.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? What can I expect or should ask for?
