What is happening??

Our trained and dedicated streaming hosts will interview you live & in-person via WhatNot and allow you to describe your collection (sell up to 20, choose 9-12 for the runway) directly to the public! Once on the runway, your host(ess) will describe the movement and live esthetic to your consumer.

Why Whatnot

The largest complaint that we've heard from our creative community is the lack of ROI. In this fast-fashion world, it's important for everyday people to be able to put their hands on your items in real time. If you currently sell on this platform, please insert link in application! NO RESELLERS OR RETAILERS!
