Yes! Lolita Collective is an authorized seller of independent Lolita and other Japanese street fashion style brands in the United States selling
both online and in person at conventions. We take a commission on all of our sales, returning the majority of the sale back to the designer. Our brands are from all over the world including American, European and Asian brands! -
Our vendors are allowed to send us any items they would like. We try to encourage our designers to send us items we believe will do best with our customers, but they are welcome to sell anything they would like.
-
Any company worldwide can join the Collective on the same terms. If a seller is located in China and would like to join the Collective, we offer them the same terms we offer all other designers. Many Chinese
designers also have their own stores on the Taobao marketplace. The designers set their own prices, not the Collective staff. If an item
seems more expensive, that is often because the price includes shipping directly from the vendor. -
We accept new applications during January and June.
