Thanks for the questions SB!

Part of our company ethos is to not carry other designers. By sourcing our gowns directly and having our own brand, we can essentially offer similar styling and comparable quality, but for a much lower price.

If we were to buy and sell Vera Wang's pieces, we'd operate as one of their retailers and would be subject to their pricing and selling policies - (which for most designers means no online sales and no price breaks).

It'll be a while for us to build our product reputation and brand, but that's one of the long-term goals - to have brides realize that 'designer brands' are a subjective experience and a quality gown can be had without needing to buy into that.
