Kiss Me Deadly is an independent boutique brand. That means we do not have financial backing from any of the major companies, and are a small brand that would usually be found in shops, department stores and online with similar brands.
We produce two lines of lingerie, both sold alongside Cervin and Gio stockings.
One is a line of classic suspender belts and girdles, made in the UK, repeated regularly. Our minimum run for these is 12 per size. The photographs for these are always done in the iconic Film Noir style, to fit with our name. The Vargas dress in black is also a repeat style, but is made overseas about once a year.
The second line consists of monthly limited edition lingerie sets, some are made in overseas, some in the UK. We do order more of these than we have advance orders for, but as they are limited editions, they can run out fast, especially in popular sizes. These are often photographed with a different theme for each season.
We provide high resolution images for all our products once an order is paid for. None of our images are available for retailer use without a paid order having been placed.
We have a small minimum order quantity, and set fees for delivery. A sample order initially is fine, but all retailers sell from stock, not images. We can send out in stock items usually within two - three working days of payment, which can be made by bank transfer, card, or cheque. Styles which are not yet in stock are indicated in the wholesale shop by a projected month and year of delivery in their menu heading. Ordering in advance is advisable for all stock and essential for UK made items.
We do not provide dropshipping under any circumstances. You must hold stock to sell our items. We do hold stock of styles, but they can sell out very fast at times.
We are looking for bricks and mortar (real life) retailers, and established web retailers.
If you are starting a new business, we will need to have a clear idea of your business plan, particularly with respect to funding, marketing, presentation, and other brands you propose to stock. It is also helpful to know if you have any relevant experience. If you cannot provide this information, it would be better to attend trade shows until your ideas are clearer. You can find details of these on our diary.
